It's time for a new Sunshine Mail Foundation Challenge (June 15 - July 1). Our theme is "At the Beach" 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).
I used Happy Times - Beach Boy by our sponsor, The Paper Shelter:
I recently saw a photo of my nephew playing at the beach that reminds me so much of this image! He lives in Florida, so I wanted the card to reflect how hot and bright it would be on a summer beach day.
The sentiment is by TLC Creations, and I drew out the sandcastle shape and inked it with Antique Linen distress ink (Ranger) by pressing the piece onto the inkpad briefly, which gives it a nice texture.
The circle frame was cut with 2 dies (Spellbinders), and heat-embossed in yellow (Creative Zoo). The frame is cut with the Disney Bubble Frame Die/Emboss Combo (Cuttlebug) from a shiny blue cardstock (Core'Dinations), and sanded a bit to add contrast on the bubbles.
The ric-rac is from my stash...I think it was actually originally from Mom's stash! As soon as I saw the June Sketch at The Stamp Spot, I knew I had to use it for a sun theme.
