I'll let you in on a little secret. I live in a beach town but rarely go. I have a pool. It rarely gets used. BUT....I do love to make beach themed cards and as luck would have it, that's our Topping for this fortnight's Seize the Birthday challenge.
I die cut and assembled the swimsuit and floppy hat from colored cardstock. For the background I die cut the bubbles from the center of a panel of white cardstock, stamped the sentiment and then added texture to the panel using a waves embossing folder. I adhered the panel to a blue card base in order for the color to show through the bubbles and called this one done.
Supplies:
Simply Graphic - Swimsuit die
Ellen Hutson - Pattern Die combo
MFT - Life's a Beach stamp set
Fun Stampers Journey - Wind and Water embossing folder
We would love for you to visit our blog and play along! Remember Toppings are optional however birthday theme is not.
Thanks so much for visiting! Your time is greatly appreciated.
