Enjoy the Summer Beach Card

Today I want to share a card I made for a challenge over at Paperthreads. The challenge was part of the July Bingo game and we were asked to create a project using as many of the Bingo words as we could. I managed to incorporate 6 of the Bingo words (beach, beach ball, ice cream, ocean, palm tree, sand). The clouds are embossed with the D'vine Swirls embossing folder and I then added crystal glitter to the swirls. I used the Forest Branches embossing folder on the trunk of the palm tree and inked it with walnut distress ink. I used the Swiss Dots embossing folder on the ice cream and Argyle on the cone. The sand on the beach is cut from sand patterned paper. I added blue Stickles to the water of the ocean. The beach sign is cut by hand and has tiny white brads in the corners. The post is embossed with the Distressed Stripes folder.


Cutter Files Used:
Clouds (cutter file from Aussie Caz)
Sand (cutter file from Ginny's Happy Cuts)
Palm Tree (cutter file from Sam & Hailey Designs)
Ice Cream (cutter file from I Scrap Designs)
Beach Ball (cutter file from Butterfly Designs)
Bear (cutter file from My Scrap Chick)

Other Supplies:
Assorted cardstock from my stash
Sand patterned paper (Shore by Colorbok)
Cuttlebug Embossing Folders (D'vine Swirls, Forest Branches, Swiss Dots, Argyle, Distressed Stripes)
Stickles (blue)
Glitter (Crafty Sparkles by Our Craft Lounge)
White mini brads
Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Walnut)
Sentiment stamp from K Andrew Designs (Splashtastic Summer)
