Today's card is for another couple of challenges with - yep, you guessed it - Summer Fun as the theme, this time over at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and also the Paper Players.
After having to really restrain myself with my last card being CAS, I had so much fun getting inky and layering with this mixed media number.
Everything other than the card base itself were made using white cardstock and coloured with distress oxide inks. There are three layers to the tree trunk because I wanted dimension but didn't want to fiddle with really narrow pieces of mounting tape!
Materials used:
- dies - Surf Shack (Cottage Cutz), Guiding Light (Spellbinders)
- distress oxide inks - salvaged patina, peacock feathers, brushed corduroy, vintage photo, walnut stain, twisted citron, mowed lawn, pine needles, mustard seed, abandoned coral, picked raspberry, lost shadow
- other - blending brushes, white gel pen, titanium white pan pastel, water spritzer, Sidekick, craft foam, Dimensionals, distress tool
If you're in my part of the hemisphere, I hope it's not too cold and miserable and this helps you look ahead to some summer fun. Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers
Kerry

Kerry, I love this amazing scene you created with distress inks. The colors are gorgeous and the distressed edges add so much texture!So happy you joined my challenge at The Paper Players this week!
The scene you've created looks like a wonderful spot I'd like to visit! The distressed layers look fabulous in those colors and the surf boards are terrific, just waiting to hit the water. Thanks so much for sharing with us at The Paper Players!
Kerry your card truly conjures up a summertime paradise! The bright colours really pop and I love the texture from the distressed layers and the blotting of the sea/sand. Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!
Your background is fabulous, Kerry, and what fun are those surfboards. I love all the distressed layers too. I hope you consider entering your card in the Just Us Girls challenge - Summertime.
