Morning all. We have a summery new challenge over at Make My Monday. We would like to see your projects 'on the beach'. I would love to spend some time on the beach but this year is proving to be a challenge for everyone and I'd rather be safe at home for the moment. Instead I have created a little beachy card in my not so sandy craft room.
I have surprisingly little in the way of beach themed stash but I did find a piece of backing paper in my scraps that had all sorts of beachy bits on it. Right in the middle was a lovely big sandcastle that was just ideal.
I fussy cut the image for a perfect focal point. Once again (you will be sick of my stencils) I used a sandy ink through a shell shaped stencil and layered it with the rest of the backing paper. I plonked my image in the middle and added my 'sunshine' die cut. At least this sandcastle should be safe from my son. I spent many a happy hour when he was a toddler building sandcastles for him to destroy.
Please pop over and join in the fun.
Thanks for reading.
Love Dawn x
loved your story of your son destroying the sandcastles you built your card is a lovely reminder of days spent on the beach
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Dawn, your sandcastel looks a bit more elaborate than the ones we built with our children! Great papers and your stencil is perfect.

ReplyDeleteWho could ever tire of looking at stencils? Not me. I have them but don't use them enough. I need to dig them out! :). I want to go to the beach too!!
ReplyDeleteSuper card Dawn! I would love to be beside the sea just now - maybe next year!
