Off To The Beach

There is a new challenge starting today at Isabella's Sketchbook and it is all about summer.  The challenge does require that you use a digi from Isabella's Sketchbook but she has so many beautiful images that can be used over and over for different purposes that I encourage you to pop over to her store, pick up something and then create a card for the challenge.  If you need some inspiration, go to the challenge and check out the  awesome work of the other design team members.  We really want to see your entry this week and you could win two of Isabella's digi stamps.



I am entering this card in the following challenges:

Quirky Crafts - Summer
Stamp Something - Something Summer
Cutie Sunday - Summer
Sassy Studio Designs - Summer
Simple Doodles - Fun In The Sun


This image is called Beach Friends and has been coloured with a combination of Prismacolor and Koh-I-Noor pencil crayons and Mungyo Chalk.  The papers are all from an old Provo Craft Scrap Pack.  The card stock is Recollections (Michaels) and DCWV.  The computer is from Create with TLC.  Other supplies used:  Shells (Michaels), Weathered Wood Distress Ink (Ranger) and Fibre (Adornments from EK Success).

  1. You have captured the beach feel and colours so wonderfully, the pattern on papers gives them sandy-textured feel. Beautiful colouring.
