The Rabbit Hole Designs- Beach Day

Hi Friends!

So excited to have you today for the first day of The Rabbit Hole Designs June release blog hop.  There are some spectacular sets coming out!  Today we are featuring Beach Day. 

Here are my cards using this fun set!

This is a long and lean card- 8.5 X 4.25.  These are very popular right now and the perfect way to allow me to use a good number of these cute stamps.  For this card there is a lot of distress ink, for the sand (Crushed Courdaroy), water (Salty Ocean) and sky (Broken China).  I used a stencil for the clouds and made my own stencils for the sandbar and water.  I have blender brushes that I love for this type of thing.  I had masked off the area for the island and lighthouse.  Then I came in and colored them and added shadows in the sand using my Copics.  The waves were made using a white gel pen.  I also used that to add polka-dots to her outfit.  The final bit of details was glossy accents, added to the spyglass and whale spray.

My next card is a shaped card using the sweet boy from the set. 

To make this one, I started out by using die cut circles to make this life-ring shaped card.  I hung the larger circle over the edge so there would be a fold.  I also cut a red circle and then used scissors to create red sections for my life ring.  I added some darker red with my Copics for shadows and then added a little gel pen.  I stamped my boy and colored him with my Copics, then I cut him out using my Scan 'n Cut.  I stamped the sentiment on blue banner and added it to the front.
