When I think of summer time, two pictures immediately pop into my head. One is the beach and playing in the sand and another is time spent on our pontoon boat at Whiskytown Lake. For today's card, I decided on the beach. It has been a while since I have done a fancy fold card so I picked one of my favorites, the double display fold, and started my card. Lots of real estate and fussy cutting on this card.
I started by cutting a piece of white card for the center scene and sponging it to create my sky sea and beach. I added the elements from Sue Wilson Island Paradise
The Cheery Lynn Summer Fun die was cut several times from sandpaper, different colors of glitter paper, and white for a base. I fussy cut the elements and glued them to the white base. I put that on top of another sponged sea scene which was backed with an old Spellbinder's die. It is nice to give some older dies some love again.

So many cute beachy dies and you made them look like fantastic summer fun! Wonderfully crafted card, Kathy! We'll be at a high desert lake all next week and I'm hoping we'll be able to rent one of their pontoon boats for a day. They get booked up pretty fast.

ReplyDeleteHey, this is a great way to get all of the things on a card that remind you of Summer Fun. I have been making summer fun with my grand kids these first weeks of summer vacation. I think that this week, we may sit down and make something along this theme. Lol Grandma is tired.
