Happy TUESDAY! :)
August. For real?! Yip. 2012 is zoom zoooooming past.
I'm not really sure how much of a 'summer' the northern hemisphere has had.. but today over at Passion for ProMarkers we're trying to celebrate the finer weather in life. Our challenge to you this week.. is to show us summery creations.
AT THE BEACH
I had a really tough time deciding which image to use on this card.. there are loaaaaads of summery/beachy ones out there to choose from. In the end I went with some Some Odd Girl goodness. I made my little cousin his 10th birthday card using Popsicle Tobie.
I've coloured him up using the following PMs and FMs. Check, check.. I wrote them down! ;) I know it's a rareity! LOL. These colours match the papers I've used from Echo Park This and That collection. Perfect for male cards and stuff.
Blush, Soft Peach, Rose Peach, Lavender
Cocoa, Cinnamon, Nutmeg
Pastel Green, Mint Green, Soft Green
Marsh Green, Olive Green, Forest Green
Oatmeal, Apricot, Pumpkin
Soft Lime, Lemon, Summer Sun
Soft Aqua, Pastel Blue, Cool Aqua
I've used some Core'dinations cardstock to create some sandy texture for Tobie to stand on. At the beach and all that! ;) I've also added some Cinnamon, Sandstone and March Hare around his feet on the image panel in tiny dots to mimic? HA! sand. :)
As for the card base, I've used another Some Odd Girl stamp and some Lawn Fawn alpha stamps to create the random 'Happy Birthday Cousin' sentiment. Really love how that turned out! :) 'Just Chill' and '10' has been stamped using Harolds ABC's from Lawn Fawn and die cut using an X-Cut die. I've added some Doodlebug brads to the holes and layered them over my image panel. Hmmm.. a little bit of yellow bakers twine tied in a pretty bow to finish this design off! :)
