I’ve got a fun
card to share today featuring the summery sweet Sand Castle Betty from Simply B Stamps.
As per usual I coloured
up my image without any plan in mind for my card, I also printed it with a few
others so it was rough cut from a bigger sheet of card. Luckily I had a Nestie that fit round it but I
did end up with sand on the embossed border so I just went with that and filled
in the gaps and coloured up my sky to the very edge too. I used chalk for the sky to give a more
subtle finish and although I usually fussy cut my images I’m glad I had enough
space left to not have to with this one as I actually like how it’s been
framed.
To make up my
card I followed the sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2, it was full of layering
goodness and I really went to town with them to help create a beachy feel to my
card. Now I did swap out one of the four
embellies on the bottom as I have an aversion to the number four and it would
have left me with only one of the embellies I used and what would I have done
with just one. Also, it let me add in
the cute die cut lighthouse.
The current
challenge over at Simply Create Too is for at least two layers, I have no less
than six (not counting the base card) so I’m also entering this over there.
