A Day at the Beach

Anytime I see a parent holding his child in his arms, I sigh and smile, knowing that they are making memories that will last a lifetime. Can you recall such a memory? Thoughts?




Stamps:
   Oceanfront
   A Good Man
   Best Year

Paper:
   Tahitian Tide A-2
   Basic Black 5-3/8 x 4-1/8
   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (2)

Ink:
   Balmy Blue
   Tahitian Tide
   Crumb Cake
   Soft Suede
   Mossy Meadow
   Tuxedo Black Memento

Markers:
   Basic Black
   Petal Pink
   Mossy Meadow
   Calypso Coral
   Daffodil Delight
   Pacific Point
   Mango Melody

Technique:
   CAS

Accessories:
   Pebbles Enamel Shapes
   Adhesive

I began with the Oceanfront stamp set:
   I stamped the top stamp using Balmy Blue.
   I then used Tahitian Tide for the water.
   Next, I stamped the sand with Crumb Cake.
   I added the sand pebbles using Soft Suede.
   I stamped the grass with Mossy Meadow.

I then used A Good Man stamp set:
   I stamped the image using Tuxedo Black Memento. The lines of the water and sand are visible, but will be covered up with markers.

Next, I colored the images using markers:
   Basic Black - His Hair
   Petal Pink - Skin Tone
   Mossy Meadow - His Shirt
   Calypso Coral - Her T-Shirt
   Daffodil Delight - Her Hair
   Pacific Point - His Jeans
   Mango Melody - Her Pants (Ocean lines seeped through and gave it a tie-dyed look.) *If you want to avoid the lines, then stamp the image first and mask it. Then add the Oceanfront images.

I then took the sentiment from the Best Year stamp set and added it to the bottom of the card using Tuxedo Black Memento.

The Basic White panel was adhered to the Basic Black panel and then onto the card front.

Lastly, I added a couple of pebble enamel shapes and adhered the other Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

  1. Nice card! It reminds me of when my daughter was young enough to be held like that. Now, I just found out that my granddaughter is pregnant, which will make me a great grandma for the third time!

    1. Thank you, Carlene. Using markers hid the lines and colors underneath. Obviously, the lighter color on her pants was not hidden. It just looks like they are tie-dyed. Thank you for stopping by and commenting. Much appreciated.
