Beach.Scene.Card

Hi Peeps! How do you like my beachy card? It's very striking in person. I made this card with a few challenges in mind and to have a multi-purpose card in my stash. I could use it for a lot of occasions.

I'm playing in the Papercraft Star-Water Challenge this week and the Tuesday Throwndown-Tropical Paradise Challenge. I purchased the digi stamp at Sweet & Sassy Stamps store and printed it out of Copic X-press blending cardstock ( I think that's the name of it). I colored it with quite a few copics. Still practicing the blending!

I cut out the scene with a Spellbinder die and layered it on a rectangle of sand printed paper from an old DCWV stack. Then layered some Basic Grey Hello Luscious paper on top of Kraft CS. Raffia was wrapped around and tied in a bow, love how it looks like dried beach grasses, and topped it with a prima flower and wood button. I popped up a second colored layer for the umbrella on foam tape. Last of all, added a sentiment that is from a set that's older than dirt! Manufacturer unknown. (Sketch is Mojo Monday from a few weeks ago)
I'll also enter this in:
See ya soon! Kim
