Wish You Were Here
Hello crafters! I decided to make a stairstep card using the Beach Bathers. While they aren't the easiest to photograph, I am hoping it comes across fairly well. I cut a piece of white card to 5" x 10 1/2" and scored it at 1 1/4", 2 1/2", 4 1/4" , 6" and 8 1/4". I folded it with mountain and valley folds to give me the base for the card. I cut and coloured the three Beach Bathers, sand a beach bag and tropical drink then added them to the second mountain fold. I cut the signpost and the sentiment and added them to the first fold of the card. For the third fold, I added a piece of clear acetate and glued the biplane to it. from the Palm Beach die set and the Beach accessories die set, I cut two palm trees, the sand, the beach chair, a sand castle, flip flops. sand bucket and shovel and the larger sun and added them to the white card below the biplane. The card folds flat for posting. The finished dimensions are 5" across in size. All for now, Sue x
