Life's a Beach

Morning peeps, hope you are all well  :D

I have some exciting news this morning. After coming first in the Father's Day/Masculine Challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges back in June with Happy Fathers Day, I was invited to appear as a Guest Designer.
I've made this card for their mid-way challenge reminder today - the theme this fortnight is 'Life's a Beach/Summer Fun'.  I'm so thrilled - please pop over and have a look, and thank you to everyone at Crafty Boots for the opportunity.

I've used an old stamp called Rockpool Fun! by Sugar Nellie, which has been coloured in with Graph'It markers and Pastel Beige/Khaki Promarkers for the rocks.

The background paper is from the Antebellum 8x8 Paper Pad from Lili of the Valley.

I've overstamped it with 'Starfish Sentiment' stamp by My Sentiments Exactly in Butterscotch Adirondack.

I drew the crab shape myself and cut it out of coral coloured card, then inked the edges with Ripe Persimmon distress ink. The jellyfish body is cut from turquoise card using an old magazine template for icecream. The edges are inked up with Evergreen Bough d.i. and I've attached strings of 'pearls' for it's tentacles.

 

I've finished off with jute cord, white sinamay ribbon/mesh and buttons from my stash. The sentiment stamps are by Woodware and Debbie Moore.
