Here comes Summer!

Today, with this lovely warm weather over here in Ireland, I made a seaside card!

I used the very useful 

DOTTED NESTING SQUARES

and the very useful

SEASHELL CORNER

Stamps are from Whiff of Joy

Medium - promarkers

Papers - Stampin Up black and white paper and card

Background papers are from an old marbled set of papers

that come in 5 pastel shades. I knew it would be useful one day!

So to make my card I cut the Seashell Corner die out twice and cut away the shells to

use as embellishments on my card.

Next I used the Dotted Nesting Squares, two different sizes to cut out one striped square

and one red and one blue of the larger square.

I prepared my card base by tearing some yellow paper and matting onto some

marbled paper for the sky and sand.

Next I assembled my beach huts by cutting the striped square into triangles

for the roof and cutting a rectangle of white for the doors.

I drew the circles and added faux stitching.

I adhered the huts to my card and added the shells around them.

I stamped some beach images, coloured them up and 3d them onto the card.

I even used some tiny little off cuts from the Seashell die to pop over the top of the doors.

There was very little waste from the die cuts.

I hope you like my finished project.
