Welcome to my blog. Today I am showing another card using punches. In July I went to the Stamp and Scrapbook Expo and I bought this beach hut stamp that came in a set. Here at the end of August many people take off to the beach for one last vacation before school starts. I would love to be at the beach right now! I stamped the image on a background in my stash where I had inked up a paper towel and spritzed it with water. I then pressed my card stock on it to get a textured look. The hut was colored using Oxide inks. The frame and starfish are punches.

that frame punch works great with that hut, and love the starfish and shell punches to embellish too. I could use some beach time myself :)

ReplyDeleteBeing at the beach is definitely a way to relax!! This card is so beautiful and I love the little clusters of seashells in the corner. I'm a big fan of finding seashells! Thanks for sharing this darling card with us at Double trouble :)
