Hello friends,
A new challenge starts today at the Double D Challenge blog. Team Darlene is hosting this challenge with the theme “Let’s Go to the Beach”. You can use the colours or anything you see in the mood board as inspiration for your creation. The team have created beautiful cards to inspire you – a visit to the Double D Challenge blog will be worthwhile.
My card was inspired by the brown colours and sea shells in the inspiration photo. I decided to create a masculine card with a stamped image which I coloured with my watercolour pencils. I added a strip of netting on the base card for texture and then lifted the top layer from the base card with mirror tape for dimension. I finished off by embellishing the water with a aqua shimmer pen, a few gemstones and a wax cord bow
I also entered my card in the following challenges:
