Hello friends -
It is time for another crazy challenge and this week we are all about celebrating the seasons. This week’s challenge, depending on where you live, is to make a card/project that depicts the season where you are. You can find all the details on the challenge and more inspiration at Crazy 4 Challenges Blog.
Since today it was over 80 degrees outside and very sunny I think Summer has finally arrived. And when I think of summer two thoughts come to mind… air conditioning and sandcastles. Since the first seemed a bit hard to convey I went with the second for my card.
I used the sandcastle from the recently released Mischief Maker at the Beach (one of my little drawings) for the main scene. It was colored with Copic markers and glittered with a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen.
The background behind the main image and embellishments was created by stamping a border from Doodled Borders (another one of mine) in Memento Luxe Love Letter on kraft cardstock. It was a bit distracting as is, so I added a layer of vellum. Easy peasy way to tone done a background. I created a sentiment using letter and chit chat stickers. The letters were DIY Thickers that I covered with clear fine crystal glitter. I finished with a bit of designer paper, some twill ribbon, and a few sequins.
Hope you enjoyed my summery card. See you next week for another crazy challenge.
