I used this Hand Stamped Sentiment Sketch Challenge (HSSSC186) but turned it upside down.
Just as in yesterday's card, I used a piece of sandpaper to embellish this card. It gives it texture and adds the 'feel' of being on a beach (plus many men can relate to sandpaper! *smile*) The Stamp sets I used are By the Seashore and Teeny Tiny Wishes.
I would love to have been at the Oregon Coast this weekend. A couple of my friends that did go said that there were orca within sight of the beach. I guess the weather was great too!
I will just have to settle for my beachy cards for now.
I'm just starting to try my hand with alcohol markers. I used them to color the shells. I used watercolor paper on which to stamp and color. I tried the Whisper White card stock first, which is recommended, but think I will continue to use the watercolor paper until I have had some more practice.
I hope you had a great Memorial day weekend!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful father's day card! I love the seashells and pretty colors! Thank you for playing at Hand Stamped Sentiments.
ReplyDeleteI love your card, the layout looks great flipped. And your use of sandpaper is so clever! You're right, men can certainly appreciate that little touch! Good luck with your use of the Blendabilities markers, I'm afraid I haven't given them much use yet :) Thanks so much for playing at HSS! Erika
