Pretty Pink Posh: 2019 Mega Sponsor Fall Blog Hop Begins Today!

Today’s card is using the fabulous Summer Surfboards set. This card just makes me want to be by the seaside on a summers day. I began by adding some colour to my card base with distress oxide inks. I masked off areas of the card to create sky, sea and sand. Here are the colours I used:

Sky: tattered rose, picked raspberry and dried marigold 
Sea: tumbled glass and peacock feathers 
Sand: tattered rose

By using a light hand with the tattered rose distress oxide ink, it adds a lovely warm glow to the sand, reflecting the colour in the sky. For the sea, I added some white gel pen details for surf and waves, smudging with my fingers to soften.

Next, I coloured two of the Summer Surfboards with copic markers, then die cut them with the coordinating dies. I used foam tape to adhere them to my card base,

The sentiment is from the Tropical Birds stamp set, and I added some watermelon, cornflower, and caribbean blue jewels around it to finish.
