Hello Friends and Happy Sunday! I've been staying indoors, away from the dangerous heatwave we've been experiencing, and creating cards so I have a quick share for you today.
I've colored up the "Look Out Beaches" vintage Bathing Beauty image from Unity Stamps using Copic Alcohol Markers. The background was ink blended using a cloud stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.
The patterned paper is from a summer themed paper pad by Echo Park, and I only have snippets of it left. The focal image has been die cut using a distressed edge nesting arch die from Globeland.
I've kept everything flat for mailing purposes as she's making her way to England, and postal rates have risen so drastically that I'm forced to stay away from my beloved foam pads for overseas happy mail! Lastly, I've added pink Dazzles because...why not?
Have a fabulous week and until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

ReplyDeleteYou have certainly put those snippets of paper to good use with this pretty background! Yes postage all over the world is out of control! No dimension but still a very impressive design that will delight the receiver! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Love Those Pretty Papers challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.

What a fabulous card Donna - love that she's in the sea in the heat you are experiencing there in the northern hemisphere!!
ReplyDeleteThe cost of postage certainly is horrific everywhere these days!
