In the Pacific Northwest, a summer vacation means going to the beach for lots of people. I'm actually more fond of the mountains and lakes, but I did grow up spending a lot of time at the beach. I was lucky to have been a tagged friend for a Waffle Flower giveaway on IG. The prize was their Beach Tote Die and Beach Tote Sentiments stamp set. Just what I needed for my DT card!
I found a long neglected paper pack and chose 3 of the blue and green papers. The tote was fun and easy to put together. I used the stamp set for the blue towel stripes and used matching paper for the sunglasses. The lenses are actually light blue paper covered with glaze, but they turned out to look white. The sentiment from the stamp set was stamped directly on the tote using Versafine Clair Morning Mist. Stamplorations cover plate of dotted circles made the perfect background. My sister loves the beach, although she seldom gets there these days. Think she'll enjoy this card. Hope I've inspired you to join the gallery. You can find lots of inspiration from our guest designer and my teammates at Time Out.
It's a fun take on the theme Great and definitely say's beach, always like blue and green as a colour combo, this one of very soft.
