Thanks for joining us for a new challenge at The Paper Players. Stef has chosen Beach Time as this week's theme challenge. I love the beach so I was happy!
There's so much to love at the beach: sitting in the sun, paddling, building sandcastles, digging holes, swimming and shell-hunting. I hope this birthday card brings all of them to mind!
I used the Beach Day stamps and dies to create the little beach scene and mounted it on a rectangle cut with one of the Everyday Details dies.

Beautiful card, Jan! I love how the dies make such a pretty frame for your scene! And the pink is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great beach scene you've created Jan! Love the umbrella and the cute sandcastles along with all the other iconic images and that fab embossed background! Your color palette is beautiful as well. I can imagine you're looking forward to sunnier days when you can head back to the beach and enjoy everything you love about it!
ReplyDeleteJan, this is fabulous! I love to build sand castles on the beach! Your embossed background adds so much texture, too! So many fun details in your amazing card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect beach collage, Jan! I love the colors. The die cuts are arranged perfectly on the "frame". The Painted Texture embossing gives the illusion of water. What a great choice to use that folder!
ReplyDeleteAnother sweet beachy scene! I love how you added just a subtle amount of color with the blending brush...what a great technique! Something to look forward to in the coming days--beach time!
ReplyDeleteI love this pink and green colour combo Jan - I don't think I'd have chosen it but I find myself totally drawn to it - the delicate pink and the deeper green work so well together. I love the beach collage with the embossed 'frame' too and the ombre colouring adds great depth and interest too. Fab!
ReplyDeleteJan, I love the colors you chose and I love that background. It adds wonderful texture to your fabulous little scene.
