When the weather is so cold and snowy I really, really crave some sunny beachy weather, so today I made a card for the Freshly Made Sketches using the new Beach Happy stamp set.
Making the card
www.crafty-rootes.com – Beach Happy stamp set used for the Freshly Made Sketches #373 Challenge
I started with a panel of Watercolor Paper 3½” by 2⅜”. I placed the watercolor paper in the Stamparatus; I find I often have to re-stamp the image on Watecolor Paper to get a crisp image. After a bit of trial and error I found it easier to stamp the striped cloth of the deckchair first in Blueberry Bushel ink. I then stamped the frame of the deckchair and the parasol with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the infill of the parasol with So Saffron ink and added the leaves in 1st and 2nd generation Mossy Meadow ink. I added the ‘ground’ in Crumb Cake and So Saffron ink with my Aquapainter. I added the stamped layer to a panel of So Saffron 3⅝” by 2½” with liquid adhesive.

I took a Blueberry Bushel card base and added a strip of Mossy Meadow and a strip of So Saffron, both ⅜” wide, at an angle across the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added a ¼” strip of Whisper White below the other two strips and added the stamped piece over the top on Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the By The Bay stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink to complete the card. I added the palm tree to a layer of Whisper White cardstock 5⅜” by 3⅝” and added it to the inside of the card and the same image on the Whisper White envelope.

I hope this card brought you a little touch of sunshine on this cold day.
