Hi there! It’s about this time of year that I long to go to the beach. Trouble is, I do not have a beach close by. So I make beach cards to tide me over!
This beach card is using the contents from the summer Hedgehog Hollow Kit featuring Sunny Studio Stamps. It’s a fun, bright, summery kit and it’s on SALE right now (at the time of writing this post). Check it out here.
I used two stamp sets from the kit: Coastal Cuties and Over the Rainbow sentiments set. I also used two dies from the kit: Rainbow, and Ric Rac dies (for the water.)
You might not believe this: I used only THREE colors to ink up that rainbow background. Yep. Only Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber, and Peacock Feathers in Distress Oxides. They blended together to make a beautiful orange and green in there, too! I love that trick.
For the ocean, I first inked up a Neenah Solar white cardstock panel with some blue Distress Oxides, then I splattered on some blue watercolor paint. I may have gotten carried away with this. Lol!
Once it dried, I cut it out using those Ric Rac dies and glued them onto my rainbow background.
I layered up five rainbow die cut words to make it pop. I also layered up the clouds three time for even more dimension.
Those cute girls are colored up with Copics and colored pencils, then popped up with foam tape.
I’m often asked what supplies I use on my projects, so I’ve linked them below using afflilate links when possible. When you purchase through these links I may receive a small commission (at no extra cost to you). These help me keep up with blog costs and continue to bring you fun projects. Thank you!
I hope you enjoyed this beachy/rainbow project today! Thanks for stopping by!
