A friend asked me to make a card for her brother's 40th birthday. A new outdoor surfing pool (The Wave) was opened in our city recently and the card was to contain a gift voucher for The Wave.
I searched everywhere for a suitable online digi stamp, without any luck. Eventually I found a free children's colouring page, which I resized and coloured with Promarkers. The image was die cut with a Memory Box 'Stitched Rectangle Layers' die. The background was embossed with a Creative Expression 'Ocean Waves' e/f. The sentiment is computer generated.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat was a lucky find, as it is perfect for your card
ReplyDeleteReally beautiful, Liz. The matching embossing background is beautiful. And I love the idea that you used the same colors for the sea in the image and the background paper. Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Sounds like a great place to have fun, too. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteThat ocean wave embossed background looks great with your cleverly found surfer Liz and just perfect for your friend's brother. x
