You are now at Carol Hartery's blog http://www.carolhartery.blogspot.com/ . I decided to make an accordion card for this hop. I used a variety of Denami stamps.
whale
Get whale soon
Hey chickie
large dot circle
demi dot circle
Starting at the base of the card you can see that I tore 2 sheets of sandpaper to create some sand. I used Memento Tuxedo Black ink to stamp the castle 3 times and then fussy cut the images before I used Scor-pal tape to adhere them to the sand.. The beach ball is a brad from Eyelet Outlet.
I used the demi dot circle stamped image to highlight the "hey chickie" text on the second layer of the card . After stamping and fussy cutting the whale image I attached it to the card with foam tape. I used epoxy stickers for the "splashes". The fish are Favorite Findings buttons.
The circle on the 3rd layer of the card was created with the large dot circle stamp.
