Sun, Sea and Sand

 Summer Holidays for Country View Crafts 

July Challenge 1

Dip, drip and dry three separate layers of distress inks, 1, Old Paper. 2, Spiced Marmalade. 3 Crackling Campfire.


Take the blue distress oxide pads and rub them over the Sparkler Fade stencil, spritz with water and monoprint over the top of the hot colours and heat dry,

Lay down the Burst stencil and use Rusty Hinge to blend through the rays.

Add some extra dip and drips using Crackling Campfire at the bottom of the card to create more of a sandy look.

Stamp some second generation text with the grey permanent ink.

Stamp the Post Card at the top in black.

Use the grey to stamp the post mark only (rub off any ink that got onto the postage stamp.

Stamp the postage stamp itself using spiced marmalade onto a spare piece of card and cut out, overlay it onto the post mark.

Cut out the couple having fun on their holidays and adhere.

Diecut the words you want to use and also add.

Blend brown distress ink round the edges and mount the finished project onto the teal paper.
