Summer is what we are all REALLY looking forward to here in Aussie so Challenge #61 at Wee Memories – Summertime, called out to me. I have made an “easel” card for the challenge and have tried to make it look a bit like a photo 😕 with glossy paper behind the stamped square. On the base of the easel I have cut a rectangle of striped paper and added fringes to try to represent a beach towel. Does it work??? I have also tried Jenny’s method of scratching up Kraft card to make sand for the beach but I also added a touch of “brown sugar – Sparkly Fluff”. After the effort of trying to make a sand effect you can barely see it because the towel covers most of it – duh. (Can you see she has a little bit of sun burn across her nose, toes, knees and shoulders? Should have put on more sun screen). 🙂
Here is today’s card –
