Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #199 - Summertime Fun!

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

this is one of my favorite challenges!!!

yay!!
I love making summer cards - they're my favorite ones to make!
for this card, these critters are heading to the beach!

so fun!
I stamped and colored the images from On the Beach, Treat Cart and Pool Party with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I added some details with a white gel pen and used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.
I couldn't resist throwing in some rainbows with the beach umbrellas and beach ball! so FUN and bright and happy!

I did lots of ink blending for the background of the card. for the beachy shore, I used Walnut Stain, Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber. then I splattered some white acrylic ink and brown ink colors on top to give the sandy texture. I used Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers for the water. then I used some white gesso and large dry bush to create the crashing wave onto the shore. so fun!

I also used the Sandy Beach Accents along the shore and in the water to create more waves, as well as sand hills to hide some shells and umbrellas in!
I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then popped it up with foam tape.

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

enjoy!
