Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday - Day at the Beach

For the Prima Doll Blog Hop, click HERE

Happy Friday!! Another week that flew by in the blink of an eye!! I hope you have fun plans for the weekend :)

It's time for another Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces. The theme this week is one of my favorites - Day at the Beach. There is nowhere else I'd rather be than the beach :)

The inspiration for this easel card is a row of colorful cottages I passed once on Cape Cod. The beach huts are from Artistic Outpost's Boardwalk stamp set. They were colored with Tim Holtz Distress Inks and a TH waterbrush in Mowed Lawn, Picked Raspberry and Squeezed Lemonade.

The hut was then stamped on Tim Holtz Idea-ology Mask Sheets and then the huts were covered with the masks so the sand, water and clouds could be inked. The sand is Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, the water Salty Ocean and the sky around the clouds is Tumbled Glass. Water was then flicked on the paper for a distressed look.

The boardwalk was created with Kraft paper and a TH Wood Grain Embossing Folder. The embossing was inked with Gathered Twigs and it was cut into strips to resemble wood planks. The two stamps are from the same Artistic Outpost set. The tag on the left is a Spellbinders Labels and Tags die an the center tag is a Spellbinders Grommet Tag die. The edges of the tags were inked with Walnut Distress Ink.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

1. Artistic Outpost - August Referral Program
2. DL.Art - Thankful Thursday - August Anything Goes
3. Sunday Funday - August Linky Party
4. Just B Creative Crazy - Just Because Linky Party

Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday - Pool Party

Happy Friday!! I can't believe another weekend is upon us!! I will be gone most of next week, so I hope to get all of my projects done this weekend and the posts scheduled :)

Friday means another Fun Friday Challenge at Little Scrap Pieces. The theme this week is perfect for summer - Pool Party!! We want to see your cards, layouts or projects that have to do with a Pool Party :)

The base of the card is a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Rectangle, followed by a Grand Rectangle. The bathing beauties are from Artistic Outpost's Boardwalk stamp set. They were stamped first on Strathmore Watercolor Paper and then masked. I can not remember where I purchased the beach scene stamp - it's been too many years ago. I wish I could...I absolutely love it. It was stamped next in Ranger Coffee Archival Ink. It was colored in with Tim Holtz Gathered Twigs Distress Ink, and the water with a TH Broken China Distress Marker. Water was then flicked on for a distressed look. The bathing beauties were colored with TH Distress Markers in Mustard Seed, Bundled Sage and Tattered Rose.

The clouds were created with a cloud mask and TH Broken China Distress Ink. The sun is a Beeswax Blazing Sun stamp, in Chrome Archival Ink. The banner is a Spellbinders Nested Pennant die, inked with TH Gathered Twigs and then stamped with the Bathing Beauties sentiment from Boardwalk in Jet Archival Ink.
