Out With the New and in With the Old #16

 Here is my second beach card I made using old wooden stamps. I pulled out a background that I found in my stash where I had used a brayer on glossy cardstock. 

Years ago I was with my friend at a stamp store and was looking for a beach cabanas stamp. She spied one for me and I think the stamp is so neat! I am so glad I got to use it on this card. The stamp actually has three cabanas on it, but I just stamped part of the stamp to fit on this card.

Out With the New and In With the Old #15

 I am enjoying using my old wooden stamps! Finally using them is much better than looking at them displayed across the room. Ha! My cards this month are beach themed. I love this seagull stamp. I used a background stamp for the water. The stamp is actually supposed to look like distressed paper, but I think it works great for ocean waves as well.

This little mousey is keeping cool the very best way! I love an ice cold lemonade in the summer. 

I made a torn paper look background by masking off torn strips of Masking Magic, blending colors with a sponge and then stamping a crackle stamp over top. When you remove the strips this is the result!

Stamp: Citrus Bath - Stampabilities

Saying - Just For Fun Stamps

Background: Crackle - Impression Obssession

Distress Oxide Inks - Ranger

Alcohol Markers - Caliart

Diamond Glaze (ice cubes) - Judikins
