Hey guys, I'm here doing a fun in the sun challenge from the gals over at Double Trouble Paper Crafting. This is for June's Challenge #192, if you want to join in on the fun here is a link to their site.
This month's challenge from Thing 1 (such the Trouble Maker) is: "Sun Fun" and must include the following (but adding more is ok too)...
- Three (3) torn edges
- Two (2) colors
- (1) die cut, ephemera or punched item
I also went for Thing 2, who always Double Dares you with her sketches and a TWIST from Thing 3 (she's so Twisted), who wanted us to add a flip flop! I mean what is summer with out flip flops?
I started out with some "hand made" white paper, I got this from Hobby Lobby and LOVE it...it's almost like a cotton paper that tears amazingly and blends easily with brushes. I tore three strips on a slight angle and ink blended them with Squeezed lemonade, Salvaged Patina and Wild Honey (that takes care of the 2 colors plus I added one).
I then cut some "sand" colored card stock down to a A2 card size and adhered the inked strips to it leaving some of the card stock peeking through to give it a little bit of a beachy feel. I reached into my stash of Jolee's and grabbed 2 beach themed packs of 3D stickers and created a beach vibe scene and then added the die cut phrase "FUN IN THE SUN".
This was a super fun card to make, I have really been enjoying ink blending lately and the summer colors just make me so happy!
Thanks for hanging out with me for this Challenge.
