Hello friends. It is Thursday and time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Vicki would like to see a beach theme on our cards. Of course, the only requirement is that it has to be for a birthday.
For the penguin and palm trees I used an older MFT set - Penguins in Paradise. I stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored them with SU Granny Apple Green & Crumb Cake blends for the trees and Black to color in the penguin. I had a couple of Copics on my table so used them to color in his beach towel. The trees and penguin are mounted with foam tape. The sand section is a piece of torn Sahara Sand cardstock. I blended some Crumb Cake ink around the penguin and trees for shadows. The sentiment from Gina K. Birthday Sentiments is stamped in Early Espresso ink. I blended Bashful Blue ink for the sky and Marina Mist for the ocean. I also stamped some ripples in the ocean with Marina Mist and an older SU retired set. I punched a 1" circle from yellow for the sun and added a few sun rays with a marker.
Be sure to check out all the fun beach scenes by the team over at Seize the Birthday and join in our fun challenge.
Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
