Sink Your Toes In The Sand

Aloha, Stampers! Today's card is a reject from a recent publication call, so I get to share it here now. I used stamps from Aloha.

To start, I punched a 1 1/4 inch circle from a sticky note and placed it on my background, to mask for a sun. Then I covered the lower portion of the cardstock with another sticky note.

I sponged Memento Angel Pink.

Then sponged Memento Rose Bud.

Sponged Memento Cantaloupe at the horizon line.

Sponged Memento Grape Jelly around the top edges.

I removed the masks. Then I used the sticky note I had previously cut the circle from, and lined it up over the circle that had been masked.

Sponged Memento Cantaloupe on my sun.

Here is what it looked like after I sponged the sun and removed the mask.

Then I placed another sticky note at the horizon line, to cover the sky. I sponged Memento Tangelo.

Then sponged Memento Angel Pink, extending all the way down to the bottom of the cardstock.

Sponged Memento Rose Bud from the sides.

I removed the mask and stamped the island silhouette, from Aloha, using Memento Tuxedo Black.

I tore a sticky note diagonally and placed it over the lower right corner. Then I sponged Memento Angel Pink along the torn edge.

Removed that mask.

Then I placed another torn sticky note, closer to the corner.

Sponged Memento Tuxedo Black.

Removed that mask.

I stamped the palm tree, from Aloha and colored with Copics. I used N7, N5 and N3 to color.

I used Copic RV23 and my London Fog Memento marker to shade along the edge of the water. I also used RV23 to add some ripples in the water.

Used an opaque white pen to add more ripples.

I layered with Pure Luxury Black Onyx and used a Bubblegum Pink card base. The sentiment is also from Aloha and stamped on white, which I sponged lightly with Memento Angel Pink ink.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful day!
