A Passion for Markers Blog Spot Challenge #849 - Favourite embellishments - Keep Calm and Think Beach - Sponsored by Dr Digi

Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all I hope that you are having a lovely week !

I'm definitely not complaining but it's still really hot here, this week the temperature is hovering around 37C so thankfully a little cooler LOL, which means we can get a bit more done in the garden.  It would be lovely for a little rain as everywhere is so dry and crispy in the garden and the plants are really struggling sadly despite being watered, but with cloudless skies I suspect there's none coming soon.

We are off to Granada again on Wednesday so hoping it's not too uncomfortable there.

I'm here today to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog.

This week our challenge is being sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps and the theme chosen by Elaine for team 2 is Favourite Embellishment.

For my card decided I chose to use Surfin Santa , resizing the image to suit my A6 card before printing out on alcohol friendly card and colouring with promarkers and cutting out with my ScannCut machine. 

Next I created the background scene using 3 distress inks, a little masking tape and a cloud stencil.

I added a little cream and white acrylic paint along the water line for texture to create the look of the sea foam on the sand.

My favourite embellishment are sequins and confetti as I think they go with everything, even this more masculine beach themed card.  I have used clear iridescent sequins on my card but they don't show up very well in my photo.

The card was simply finished with white gelly roll pen highlights and a brown fine liner pen to gibe the appearance of texture to the sand. 

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card packed with flowers today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the Passion for Markers blog


Hasta luego 👋 


Enjoy the rest of your day !
