Sending Sunshine...

Hello!

I'm back on the Bellarific blog with another summer fun Scenic Saturday card.  We are returning to the beach, this time with the adorable Beach Bundle Girl in a Pinch. And as a fun twist, I decided to turn the whole scene into an oversized postage stamp.

The first thing I had to do was cut out the Copic X-Press It card stock using a postage frame die. This gave me the smaller window to then create my scene within. Beach Bundle Girl in a Pinch was stamped high enough on the panel that I had plenty of room to color waves lapping onto the shore beneath her. This makes it look like, as she is coming back in from a swim, Bundle Girl is finding a surprise passenger clinging to the backside of her swim suit. Now she has to ponder what to do with this clingy crustacean, LOL! In the distance I added a pair of palm trees for some added color and a rickety beach fence trailing off along the horizon line. Notice how shortening the length of the posts creates the illusion of the fence moving away from us. With Bundle Girl and the scene all colored it was time to assemble the card on a pretty pink card base to match her swimsuit. Once everything was glued down I then stamped on all of the postage themed accents that create the appearance of this being a large postage stamp, along with the coordinating sentiment from the Beach Vibes Sentiment set as the perfect finishing touch.

Stay crafty my friends!
