Still At the Beach-Favorite Things Friday

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You /

Yay, it’s Friday and I decided why not continue the beach theme, especially now that the weather is warming up. The only thing better than relaxing at the beach would be swimming in the ocean, or anywhere really, as long as there aren’t any sharks! LOL

Today’s card features the Seas the Day Bundle and the Ocean Front stamp set. I created the beach scene first, added a sunset and used the largest die from the bundle to add some depth to the front of my card. I used the 1″ circle punch to create a sunset mask and applied Daffodil Delight ink using a sponge dauber.

Oceans of Fun-InKing Royal Blog Hop

19 Comments / Blog Hop, Thank You, Thinking of You / / ,

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s April Blog Hop! As the weather gets warmer, it’s time to start planning our trips to the beach, the lake or the in-town aquarium. Today we’re sharing projects inspired by the ocean and sea – we are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

I don’t think there is anything more relaxing than sitting in the warm sun listening to the ocean waves. Today’s card reminds me of a peaceful beach scene and since the weather here in St. Louis is a little brisk for this time of year, I am really longing for a warm sandy beach somewhere, but alas my Ocean Front card will have to do.

In addition to the Ocean Front stamp set, I used the Blending Brushes to add a Balmy Blue sky and the greeting is from Dahlia Days, which is also featured in the January – June 2022 mini catalog.

Project Supplies and Measurements

  • Pool Party CS- 8½ x 5½ (card base)
  • Soft Suede CS- 4-1/8 x 5-1/8
  • Basic White CS- 4 x 5-3/8
