Beside Me – Summer Fun

Friday!  Wow the week went by fast.  Hoping you have a great weekend and have some time for creative pursuits…

Today I created a clean and simple card for a number of challenges.

Theme: Make My Monday (#228) and Time Out (#266); Style: Krafty Chicks (#721); Color: Color Throwdown (#798); and Sketch: Facebook Global Design (#450).

Here is the result:

Steps:

• Card Base: (8½” x 5½” scored at 4¼”) Basic White cardstock.
• Background Panel: (4” x 5¼”) Basic White cardstock dry-embossed with the retired Cross Hatch Basics 3D Embossing Folder.
• Accent Mat: (3¾” x 3¾”) Boho Blue cardstock.
• Focal Panel: (3½” x 3½”) Basic White cardstock.
  • The sentiment, Enjoy the sweeter things in life, from the retired Sweet Citrus stamp set was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink along the bottom.
  • The Father and Son Beach image and the Seagull image from the Beside Me stamp set was also stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
  • The scene was minimally colored with Stampin’ Blends Markers.  Colors chosen: Shorts – Light and Dark Boho Blue; Dad T-Shirt – Light and Dark retired Sweet Sorbet; Boy’s Hat – Light Shaded Spruce; Sand – Light Crumb Cake.
• Flag: (3”) Just Jade 2020/2022 In-Color Ribbon and Sweet Sorbet Bordered Ribbon, both retired, wrapped over the Background Panel and stapled in place.  I changed the orientation because of the pointing finger and the seagulls.

All elements were assembled and the entire card front was popped up with Dimensionals.

A fun day at the coast along the beach just before enjoying a picnic lunch…what fun!
