Just Another Day In Paradise

Hi bloggers!  I cut a piece of white card and used a piece of copy paper to cover half the card.  I used Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade Distress inks to swipe across the top of the card horizontally.  I moved the copy paper to the top of the card, covering the area that was just inked.  I used Salty Ocean and Story Sky Distress inks to create the water at the bottom of the card.  I cut three sailboats from the Fish Shop die set out of white card.  I cut them again out of red, blue and teal and nipped away the bottom part of the boat and glued it onto the white die cuts.  I added them to the water rea with some white waves.  I cut the sun from the Rain Or Shine die set and glued it into the corner.  I cut the Just Another Day In Paradise sentiment in black and glued it to the yellow background.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4"  x  7 1/2"  in size.

    Hi Sue. What a lovely sunny card to see on this cold, frosty morning. It is amazing how you have managed to create such a warm tropical feel and given us the inspiration to go ahead and try to recreate it ourselves.
