Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Wednesday! It's the 1st Wednesday of the month and that always signals a new challenge at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog. We have 2 amazing and generous sponsors this month - Gina K. Designs and The Pajama Crafter Stamps. Our optional twist for this challenge is: Mountains or Coast.
For my project, I've used the "Time to Coast" stamp set from Gina K. Designs and the optional twist of Mountains or Coast. I've actually never been to the mountains, but have easy access to the coast; my scene today is one I've seen in person many times.
I've colored the image very simply using alcohol markers and cut out using a nesting die from the Moonstone set by Hunkydory. I've lightly inked a background using Distress Inks, the patterned paper is from a Nautical 12x12 pad by Recollections, the sentiment is from the same Gina K. stamp set and has been heat embossed.
To finish it up, I've popped the focal panel on foam pads, added Baker's Twine & Bows along with enamel dots. Everything from the stash this time, I've had this lovely stamp set since 2021 and it makes the prettiest/handsomest cards, I really like it for masculine themes.
Please pop over to the challenge this month and play along, we would love to have you join us! Until next time, Happy Crafting!

DeleteDonna, I absolutely love your card! I believe if I remember correctly you’re here in Florida, and I too have seen scenes like this not far from my home as well. You’ve done a great job capturing the essence of the pelicans sitting on the pilings. I also really love your background. You did a great job, combining the colors to make them all match. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday. We appreciate your participation!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Donna. I love the limited colour palette.
