The Card Concept - By the Sea

Welcome to another inspiration challenge with The Card Concept where our theme for this week is By the Sea.

Inspired by the shells and sand, I chose a beach theme for my mixed media card.

We're in the final days of autumn here and winter is just around the corner, so it's with a very wistful gaze that I look at this summery scene, lol. 

Materials used:

• stamps - Beach Baby (Penny Black)
• card - watercolour, basic white, crumb cake
• distress oxide inks - antique linen, brushed corduroy, salvaged patina, peacock feathers, broken china
• SU inks - blush blossom, crumb cake, calypso coral, balmy blue
• other - blending brushes, white gel pen, clear Wink of Stella, Sunset Beach die cuts (Mintay), Dimensionals, craft foam, stitched rectangle die (Paper Rose), Big Shot, Alphanumeric Tiny Type Lower dies (Tim Holtz/Sizzix), aquabrush, SU markers, Sidekick

What aspect of the picture will inspire your creation? We'd love to see it in our gallery and don't forget to check out the cards my fellow team mates have made as well. 

The Card Concept team are taking a break now until the end of the US summer, so hopefully I'll be back with more challenges in September.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

Wishing You Sunny Days - CAS on Friday Challenge #182

Welcome! I'm back again with another card for a CAS on Friday challenge.

This is challenge #182 and the theme is SUNSHINE.

Though it's now winter here in Australia, my fellow design team members are in the northern hemisphere where they're looking forward to sunny days and warm skies for a few months. For my card I couldn't go past this stamp from Penny Black; this little sweetie just epitomises sunshine and happy days. Makes me think of those times when you close your eyes, tilt your head back and just bask in the heat of the sun on your face. Even more fun when you can safely expose  more skin and soak up some vitamin D!

Materials used:

• stamps - Beach Baby (Penny Black), Beach Happy (SU)
• card - whisper white, pineapple punch
• other - stitched rectangle framelit, Big Shot, craft foam, Copic markers, Stampin' Blends, white gel pen, MISTI

Is she a cutie-pie, or what? Her little fingers and toes are so adorable! I had a ton of fun colouring her with a combination of Copics and Stampin' Blends. The polka dots on the hat ribbon were added with a white gel pen.

Join in the challenge and share your creation with us! Over at the CASOF blog you can see the lovely cards my fellow team members have come up with.

Thanks for stopping by. Do stay safe.

Cheers
