Life's a beach

Hello folks

Well today's card is a very optomistic one as currently the rain is beating on my craftroom window and I have to have the light on to be able to see. But I am being positive as we have just booked a week's holiday and I am looking forward to some sunshine.
The challenge at Penny Black Saturday challenge is one layer so that is what this card is. I made a card blank from Sheena's stamping card and stamped Penny Black's beach baby in black archival ink. I then created the background with distress inks. Finally I coloured the stamped image with Spectrum Noir Aqua blend pencils - 

  • skin - coral, apricot and squash
  • hat - sunshine, mango, beeswax and ruby
  • swimsuit - currant
  • sun glasses - currant and ebony
  • blanket - sapphire and opal blue

I also used - 

  • Sheena stamping card
  • LaLa Land stitched sun and clouds die set (to create masks and stencils)
  • tumbled glass, salty ocena and fozzilized amber distress ink

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

Thank you for stopping by
