It's time for a new Sunshine Mail Foundation Challenge
(August 15-31). Our theme is "Anything Goes" and the only real rule is
that you send in at least one card (it doesn't have to be the card you
enter in the challenge; Donation guidelines here).
We're having an Anything Goes challenge, featuring images by this year's sponsors. I adored making my card for our previous challenge sponsored by The Paper Shelter, so I used another one of their sweet images, Sunny Day:
I colored the image with Copic markers, starting with the sand and water, which I textured with Copic blender solution & Aida/cross-stitch cloth. I added Glossy Accents to her sunglasses.
I recently won a gift certificate to Tiddly Inks at Top Tip Tuesday (thank you!), so I bought the Beach Babe Clear Stamp Set and I've been eager to ink it up! I used the border & sentiment from that set. The sentiment was stamped with bright orange pigment ink and cut out with an IO die.
The border stamp is roughly 2.5 inches long, so I stamped it in a square directly around the printed digi stamp, using Tuxendo Black Memento ink. I colored it with Copics in purple & orange, so that the starfish & sand dollars are alive!
The shiny blue paper was embossed with the Charles Cuttlebug folder. That piece is matted onto a piece of blue paper that was edged with zig-zag-patterned Washi tape. The patterned paper is cut from a sheet of Dazzling Delights DP from Graphic 45's Bohemian Bazaar collection.
The "seaweed" was cut with a Spellbinders die; I cut two pieces from a blue-green paper, and two pieces from vellum and then colored them with a bright green marker.
