Hello and a happy Tuesday to you all ! I hope you are all well and the week has started well. Its my son's birthday today - he's 28 years old which I cant quite believe as it makes me feel very old indeed!
Today I'm here to let you know that a new challenge has started over on the Passion for Markers Blog challenge.
This weeks challenge is being sponsored by Uniko stamps and our theme of 'Beach Vibes' this week was chosen for team 2 by Me...
I think spending days at the beach in the Summer is the perfect way to cool off - especially when the beaches are quieter !
For my challenge I chose to use one of my favourite digital images by Krista Leigh Smith aka Saturated Canary - this is called Toes in the sand. Sadly Krista has closed her shop due to other commitments but she's promised us shell pop up every now and then with images for us to colour.
I have created a simple A7 card with a distress oxide ink background to coordinate with the fun surfer girl image. I wanted to give the effect of sun rays from behind the surfer girl so used a stencil and a baby wipe to lift some of the ink off the sky section of the design.
I resized the image to suit my card blank and then printed out onto alcohol friendly card stock before colouring with my Promarkers and fussy cutting out. The digital sentiment was added to the panel before printing. The image was adhered to the card with foam tape for dimension.
I added white gelly roll pen highlights to the water and some sparkly sequins around the design.
I really hope that you have enjoyed my card 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 !
