I adore this sweet image of the Beachcomber. It's been inked up and colored with Copics. Sending Sunny Summer Smiles was stamped inside the popped up Square Shaker Frame Die cut. A natural mesh, twine, and silk have been added for texture. The fun sand bucket dp was the perfect pairing with its wonderful summer colors!
I have had more fun with the Shell Die Set and the Pail! The shells were lightly shaded with Copics and embossed with clear ep. The Pail is perfect for collecting those treasures along the beach or arranging flowers in! Pale green paper was used for the Grass Die. What's a beach without some sand? I've sprinkled a little dusting of sand to complete the grouping!
Thanks for looking and I hope that you will join in and play along by sharing your fun colors of summer!

ReplyDeleteThis card is gorgeous! It reminds me of myself as a little girl gathering interesting stones, and shells, and anything I liked and putting them in my bucket. I really like the image on the circle and inside the die cut frame. The colours are beautiful and the dp paper is perfect. I love the inside with the bucket and the shells. This card would be a treasured gift.
