Waffle Flower Crafts Beach Scene

Happy Thursday! I love the new Waffle Flowers crafts summer release!  I couldn't resist playing with the bear and some of the elements from the Stay Cool set :)

I am counting down the days to our summer vacation! This scene so puts me right there! 

I stamped my bear, his drink and the cute bird on a floater then coloured them in with my Copics.  I fussy cut those three images and then used some Lawn Fawn border dies to create my background panel, my sandy beach (where I stamped and masked my beach towel) and my waves.  I used Distress Inks to colour all of those elements.  I then removed the mask from the beach towel and Copic coloured it as well.

I then pulled out the new Lawn Fawn palm tree dies with some coconuts :) I die cut the images in coloured card stock and added shading also with various Distress Inks.

I put my little scene together added a mix of Glossy Accents and Nuvo Jewel Drops to the scene.  This card makes me happy!

Thanks for taking the time!

Simon Says Stamp Sunday!

Have had a nice long-weekend which has given me time to play in my craft room :) Simon Says Stamp has a wonderful fun challenge over at Flickr and this week's theme is Sparkle and Shine!

I started with a Neena Solar White Panel and used the SSS Big Birthday Wishes stamp set.  I used my Misti stamp tool to position the candles and be able to double stamp them for the best impression. I used Mama Elephant Piggy Bank, Simon Says Stamp Doll Pink, MFT Hybrid Red Cherry, Simon Says Stamp Melon, Hero Arts Soft Vanilla, Hero Arts Green Hills, Simon Says Stamp Spring Rain, Hero Arts Cornflower, Simon Says Stamp Lavender and Simon Says Stamp Hot Mama inks for the candles. For the flames I used Delicata Gold and Glossy Accents.  I cut a piece of the Simon Says Stamp Lavender cardstock with my new MFT Rectangle Frame dies to make a shaker card.  Pretty Pink Posh and Martha Stewart sequins in rainbow colours.  Two sided foam tape for dimension and three Lawn Fawn heart dies. Pretty simple!

Thanks for taking the time!
