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.

2. DL.Art - Thankful Thursday - August Anything Goes

Little Scrap Pieces Fun Friday - Tag, You're It!!

Happy Friday!! I hope you have fun plans for the weekend!! I seriously can't believe it's August already. My gosh, I feel like I blink and a week goes by :)

The theme this week at Little Scrap Pieces is Tag, You're It!! We want to see your tags or projects that use a tag.

The tag was cut with a Tim Holtz Tag and Bookplate Die with Strathmore Watercolor Paper. It was embossed with the Tim Holtz French Script Texture Fade and I followed Tim's instructions and cut a slit in the top of the folder to pull the tag through. The tag was spritzed with water and then colored with TH Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge and Spiced Marmalade Distress Stains. Once the ink dried, the tag was sanded to remove the color from the embossing. The edges were inked with TH Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. TH Tissue Paper was adhered to cardstock and then cut with a Spellbinders Bird Sanctuary die. It was inked with Wild Honey and Fired Brick Distress Ink. Another bird was cut with cardstock inked with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink and was then offset and adhered with foam tape for dimension. All of the edges of the bird were inked with Black Soot Distress Ink. The branch is a Spellbinders Mix'd Media Elements die cut in Kraft paper and inked with Gathered Twigs. The branch was outlined with charcoal. The ribbon is TH Crinkle Ribbon, inked with Fired Brick, Rusty Hinge and Spiced Marmalade Distress Stains.

The sentiment is from Dylusions Quintessential Quotes stamp set.
