So much to talk about on this card....let's get started!
I colored Surfer Anya with my Copics a couple of weeks ago, and she has sitting around waiting for the perfect little project...and when I saw that the challenge this week was to make anything summer, how perfect was my image for this one?!! Also, at the beginning of last week I used my 60% off coupon (YES, I SAID 60%!!!) to buy a battery powered mini sewing machine and while practing with it, I sewed several lines to look like waves. I set the practice piece of paper on my "ocean" shelf and said I'd find the perfect little project for it...and while putting the "waves" on the shelf I noticed my MS sea shell border punch and punched along the edge of the sewn paper. It all sat on my shelf...waiting for the perfect project! LOL!
I used my Nesties Wonky Rectangles for the frame, it's fast becoming one of my favs. I used TH distress ink on all the edges to soften the look, and I think the Honey colored ink looks fab on the shells....giving the shells the look of sand. I used Diamond Stickles on the "sand" to make it sparkle. The sun was stamped 3 times and the face was handcut to put in the middle of the rays...did you notice the Glossy Accents on the sunglasses? The sun and sentiment are from a $1 bin from that's been in my stash for a couple of years. The paper is from J's and is the Colorblok brand...don't you think the flowers in the frame sorta/kinda look like clouds?!! LOL!
Thanks for reading along, you all know how much I love to talk! :D
PS: About my beach shelf, it is filled with all things ocean related and/or aqua embellies...it is my fav part of my craft area! I always have a mermaid or two colored and sitting on the shelf...so much fun to look at!
PSS: How about you, do you sit and color images...just because you can?!! I'd love to know! :D

De - Where did you get the sewing machine?? I've been wanting one so I don't have to dig out my "beast" every time I want to sew on paper ;)
Oh, the card is GORGEOUS, as always!
Hi Denice. I am so sorry for putting the wrong name of this. I can be dweeb sometimes. lol... I just had to come back for a second look at your fabulous card. I love how you used your stitching for waves and the MS punch on the top for your sand. I have a little sewing machine for my papers and I really should give it more attention. I have also been debating getting theses Spellbinders and I think you sold me on it. lol... Great card and yes, I have several little Anyas and Ians sitting around waiting to find their perfect homes. Have a great rest of your weekend and please except my apologies for getting your name wrong. Hugs, Lisa
I DO sit and color images from time to time! It's therapeutic- especially after writing papers all the time lately! ;)
Love Surfer Anya!! Great card!
I love it when you find things you have had forever to add to card or page. And it all falls together. This is stunning and i love the waves.
I think this is my all time favorite. I luv the coloring and I luv the papers you used and I luv the whole thing about it. Decorations So cute cute cute. LUV IT. Way to go Denice.
by the way I usually color while listening to the tv or long rides in the car.
EEEK!!! So stinkin' cute! LOVE how you stitched the waves! Still can't really manage that yet but I just love it. Been eyeing the reverse wonky rectangles and now it's official. I NEED them! Love this! xxD
