My friend Sandy's granddaughter, Sammi, celebrates her birthday next month. Sammi loves everything "princess" so Sandy asked me to create a princess card for her. I ordered the Denami castle and chickie princess stamps specifically for Sammi's card. Since Sammi also loves the beach I decided to have the chickie princess live in a sand castle. I used my Tuxedo Black Memento ink pad and stamped 3 castles onto a piece of sand paper. I used some of my markers to add color to the sand castles before I fussy cut them. I tore some small sheets of sandpaper to create some sand for the card.
Well, princesses love sunshine so I used Denami's medium birthday circle stamp to create a large bright sun. The princess is framed by the birthday text. I cut some triangles for the sun's rays and added tiny rhinestones to the rays and to the text to add some sparkle to the card. The chickie princess doesn't want a sunburn so she's standing under her favorite pink umbrella.
The beach ball is a brad from Eyelet Outlet.

Love your card.How clever to use sandpaper for the sandcastles. Is it lightweight sandpaper? I never would have thought to use it!
ReplyDeleteHow very creative!!!
ReplyDeleteI bought the sandpaper at Dollar Tree. They are small sheets that are probably about 4" x 6". I believe they are all different grades as there are numbers on the back that say 60, 80 and 120. I was able to stamp on each of them, but I think the ink showed up the best on 120.
ReplyDeleteSuper duper cuteness!!! Thanks for sharing and have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteThat sandpaper idea - ingenious! And I love the DeNami chickies - your little princess chickie is so cute with her umbrella protecting her from the sun! Your friend's granddaughter will love this card, and how very thoughtful of you! :o)
