Hello! I'm so glad to be back. Last week was so busy I didn't get to make anything!!!
Today I made a card inspired by a project I saw on the PTI forum. I don't know how they achieved their "waves" lapping the shore but here is my take.
I used the Flipping Out die for the flip flops but I do not own the coordinating stamp set so I made them by cutting out two of each (one card stock and one patterned paper). I trimmed the patterned die cut to be slightly smaller than the card stock one.
Now for the waves. First I made my bottom layer out of sand paper. Then I cut 3 pieces of Hawaiian Shores card stock into different heights by tearing them roughly. Next I inked the edges with white ink and heat embossed them. I love how they came out.
I also rubbed a little tea dye distress ink onto the sand paper to vary the color. I blinged up the flowers with stickles and gems.
For a more masculine card I left the bling off and didn't layer the flip flops.
I didn't put a sentiment on these cards so they can be used for any "summery" message I need to send.
When I attached the 3 layers to the sand paper base I had to use glue instead of ATG tape. The tape will not stay on the sand paper.
It needed a little something more so instead of the bling I added some hemp at the bottom.
