I made this for a best friend who had a birthday Sunday!
We both love the beach and thought of her and me there.
She is brown headed and I am blonde and she is a little taller than me.
Anyway, I am glad I got this set called Beautiful Moments to color.
I decided to watercolor here on Shimmery white card stock cut
with the stitched square.
I pulled out my aqua painter and a few ink colors.
I stamped the image in Memento Tuxedo Black.
I used Crumb Cake to do the sand, Pool party for the
sky, Calypso Coral for the buckets, Crushed curry for one hair and
Soft Suede for the other. I finished with a very diluted Sahara Sand
to pull a little color on the face and body parts.
I layered the piece of Calypso Coral ran through
the Subtles embossing folder on top of the strip of
Tropical Oasis DSP in a Pool Party print.
All went on the Crumb Cake base.
I used the sentiment from Honey Bee set on a white banner in
Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I added the rhinestone colored
with a Pool Party Stampin Blend marker to finish it off.
Inside, I did stamp Happy Birthday but did not take a photo of the inside.
Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Such a super-sweet card, Windy! I love the mix of colors and how you colored the pails to match the layer below. ♥
ReplyDeleteLove this card. Do you have the measurements for the card sketch?
ReplyDeleteThanks, I will try to tell you what my measurement were from memory. I already gave this card away. I used a 4 1/4" by 5 1/2" base. I cut the Designer paper in Pool Party 3 1/2" by 5 1/4" then the Coral card stock 2 3/4" by 4 1/2" and the square was cut with the largest Stitched Shapes die from the die set. Prob 3 1/2" square. Have a wonderful week!
