Time To Have Fun

The appearance of the sun today put me in the mood to make a summery card.  I chose one of my newest SWALK stamps which hadn't been inked before and followed the great sketch over at Sketch N Stash and the theme at The Crafty Pad which is At The Seaside:


6 x 6 card blank
SWALK image stamped in Memento ink, coloured with Spectrum Noirs and coloursoft pencils. Tumbled glass distress ink used for the sky.
Mat cut using a Spellbinders label die.
Backing papers from Making Cards magazine, matted onto turquoise card from PaperMill.
Sentiment LOTV stamped with Big 'n Juicy waterfall ink.
Clouds created using a Darice embossing folder and then the required section cut out.
Boat charm from ebay, along with the jump rings.
Gems from my stash.

My card is also for the following challenges:


Pile It On - It's a Shore Thing

Willow Sketchie Challenge - Summer Holidays

Digi Doodles Challenge - Summertime

Craft Punked - Summertime

Fussy and Fancy Friday - Photo Inspiration
