I made this card by using a remnant scrap from a die cut. The yellow panel is the negative portion of a square that was die cut for another project. I sponged the edges with Daffodil ink and cut strips of calypso coral to line the embossed edges. Since I'm not very good with making a mitered edge, I made photo "corners" to cover them up. The image is by SNSS and was colored with Copics and enhanced with some white gel pen accents. The sentiment was done with a MFT stamp set, and the beachy border was done with an EK punch.
I'm entering this into
Pixie's Snippets Playground #77 since I used some leftover scraps, and I'm also entering this into the
Stars and Stamps Tuesday tutorial to create a window card. Mine is a bit different from the tutorial that's posted, but it's a window card so I think it works :)
Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you all find your piece of paradise in this world today too!!

what a clever idea to make the image into a photograph. The colors are great and I just love the border on the bottom of the card.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Yes, it is a window. :) what a cute image. Thanks for playing along with the OWH tutorial today!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so humid here today that the beach is the only place to be, I think.
ReplyDeleteI love this scene and you did such a great job with it. I like that umbrella a lot and the way you made your "window" is very interesting. That fun little border really helps bring everything together.
Beautiful scene carol! Perfect coloring and makes me want to be seated there, enjoying the breeze.:)
