Totally Papercrafts ,,,, The Beach

Hi all :-) ,, summer is HERE !! it is very hot and sunny here in Gozo and I have already had a few trips to the beach ,,, lovely :-)

This week it is Scoopy’s turn to choose the theme ,, and guess what she chose !! ,,, Yup ,,,,, The Beach !! her FAVE place !! :-)

If anyone is interested in seeing my fave beach click HERE ,, Ramla Bay Gozo ,,,, aka Paradise !! :-)

We are sponsored by the lovely Melissa at Meljen Designs and one lucky entrant will win 4 digi images :-)




For my card I followed the fab sketch on the Sketch Saturday Challenge :-) I used an Anya stamp, this one is in a set of 3 called Rain, Snow, Shine ,,,, no prizes for guessing which one I used :-) I coloured her with Copics and inked the edges with Stormy Sky distress ink. I made the background design myself using my Copic Air Brush and a Spellbinders scalloped nestie to make clouds, the flip flop paper I have had forever and have no idea where that came from ! I made a ‘sun’ using a petal cap and inspirational epoxy sticker and the butterfly was made using a MS Monarch Butterfly punch, I added a star using my brand sparkly new Die-namics stacking star die,, I LOVE this !! The sentiment was in an unmounted HM set.





Thanks for looking :-) The DT have made some gorgeous cards for your inspiration so hop on over to the Totally Papercrafts Challenge to see them Smile

Gorgeous card, Lols. Looks like the sun is glinting off everything.
How lucky are you with that beach? Bet it's better when the tourists have all gone!
