Surf's Up: Crayon Resist Meets the Ocean
April 09, 2012
Happy Easter. We're enjoying a few days of rest, relaxation, chocolate eating and bike riding. Since it is holiday time I thought I'd share this card - any of you spending the holidays at the beach?
We did this card last month at technique class. The stamp set is Surf's Up (from the main catalogue) and includes the waves, greeting and surf board. Perfect set to add a little crayon resist to.
Colours: Island Indigo, Pool Party, Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black
My crimper got a bit of a run and we added the brads before attaching the strip so that they didn't show through to the inside of the card.
We embossed the greeting and one surf board with Cherry Cobbler embossing powder (yum!) and the other surfboard with white embossing powder - on darker cardstock so that those lovely swirls showed through.
I hope you're having lots of fun, and maybe even a bit of craft time, over Easter.
Cheers, Sue
Oh I love this! The technique suits the card perfectly and I also love the colour combo!
