Beach Scene

Hi and welcome!  I made today's card using the sketch at MFT.  As well I'm linking up to AAA Cards birthday bash and the window theme at Inkspirational.  When I first saw the sketch, I was stumped, but after letting it percolate in my brain for a few days, I had the idea to use the rectangular panel as a window, which fit in perfectly with the Inkspirational challenge.

I created a beach scene using distress inks and white gel pen on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and set it aside.  I then took an inside/out stitched rectangle die and did some partial die-cutting on a white card base.  I laid the die onto the card base and positioned the top plate half way down the die and cut it.  Then I moved the die up so it wasn't as tall, and positioned the plate on the bottom half and cut it.  The beach scene was then adhered behind the opening.  The sentiment was stamped in black ink.

Then I went to work on the images.  The penguin and ball were already pre-stamped and colored from another project.  Originally I was only going to use the palm tree and bunny but I liked the look of the penguin and bunny together so used them both.

The copics in the photo below do not include those used on the penguin and ball.  I don't have a record of those colors.

Thanks for visiting!
