Hope Your Day is Sunny & Bright
Hi crafters! For todays card, I selected a piece of Arctic Blue to use for the background. I ran a piece of removeable tape across it and sponged the water using Cobalt Blue distress ink. I hand cut the sand out of milk card and glued it to the bottom of the card. I cut the Beach Bather die out of milk card and coloured the swimsuit with markers. I cut the hat using lilac card and then added the small centre part with mounting foam and glued it to her. I cut the beach blanket out of white card and added lilac strips to it. I did the same with the beach chair and umbrella from the Beach Accessories die set. I cut two palm trees from the Palm Beach die set using tan and green card. I added the palms to the side of the card. I cut a sun out of white gloss card and glued it to the corner of the card. For the sentiment, I use the Hope Your Days Are Sunny & Bright, which was cut out of white and black card. I shadowed the white die cut by gluing the black one behind it slightly offset. I glued it to the sky. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
