Hi, all! Happy June! I hope your summer is off to a fun and fabulous start! It's time to celebrate the end of the first term at House of Cards and we have a super fun challenge for you! You should have arrived here from the HOC blog, but if not, make sure to stop by there for a full list of the hoppers! Remember, this hop only lasts until the 15th, so don't wait! Come join us today using this fabulous inspiration...
Isn't that the epitome of summer? I LOVE the beach and all the inspiration that it brings! I was inspired by the blue, white, and kraft colors plus the beach feel this photo has. Take a peek at my completed card...
I used Photoshop to create my focal panel using digital stamps from the Sea Creatures set by MHKDesigns and some brushes. I added a few white enamel dots to mimic more "clouds" and give a bit more dimension, aside from the sentiment.
The edges of the panel were distressed and I also added faux stitching for even more texture. I love the way this turned out! It's perfect for a guy's birthday or for anyone who loves the beach! What do you think? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
Thank you so much for stopping by today! Your next step on the hop is Judy's blog! Make sure to stop by all the other gals' blogs to see what they have in store--they ALWAYS amaze me! Have fun! Happy hopping, all! :)
