Surf N Sand… Yes Please!

I can’t deny it, I’m missing warm weather really badly right now. So…to bring some sunshine into my world, I’ve created a card that reminds me of the beach!

Shari Carroll Ranger Thanks

I played around with Peakcock Feathers Distress Ink and Dylusions Vibrant Turquoise Spray Ink on Watercolor  paper…that’s my SURF! Peaking through from behind is my sunshine of Dylusions Squeezed Orange!!

Shari Carroll Ranger Thanks D1

I used the new die from Tim Holtz… Courtyard Frameworks…it’s amazing!!! Love the continuous design!  To finish off my design, I added Doodlebug White Sprinkles to the centers.

I’ve shot a video of my process, hope you enjoy!

Thanks for stopping by today, have a fantastic WARM week if you can!!

  1. Love the card – reminds me of spring which seems like a million years away! Thanks for the video – very helpful.

  2. It is hard to imagine that Spring will ever arrive while we still have 6 foot high snow banks lining our driveway, so your hint of sun, sand and surf was a welcome relief from the white-on-white scenery here on the shores of Georgian Bay. Just love the overall effect of this card, Shari.

  3. I loved seeing the video of the process on this. It wasn’t completely clear from the card itself how you went about it, so I appreciate seeing things step-by-step. I love the color combination on the card. I’ve been into teal and orange a lot lately, myself.

    My favorite part of the card is the black “thanks”. It adds just the right amount of contrast and gives a really modern look.

    Thanks for sharing! :)
