Hello everyone and Happy Saturday! Even though I have never surfed in my life, I love to watch the surfers at the beach here. And, surfing is huge here in Brasil. When I saw the new Hang 10 stamp I knew that I would love to color all those boards and, it would be perfect to use with the Learn to Surf stamp.
So, let's go make a card.
- First, I stamped Hang 10 on white cardstock and used my Scan N Cut to cut the surfboards with a small border. You can also fussy cut then if that is your thing.
- I colored in a few of them and then applied glossy accents to each surfboard so they would have a glossy when dry. Then I set them aside to dry for a few hours.
- While they were drying, I made a top-folding card using blue cardstock.
- I die-cut a piece of light blue cardstock using a 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die, embossed it with the Waves 3D Embossing Folder from Memory Box, and adhered it to the card front.
- I stamped Learn to Surf on white cardstock, die-cut it with a rectangle die, layered it on a piece of blue cardstock, adhered a piece of fun foam to the back, and then adhered it to the card front higher up to make room for the surfboards.
- I adhered the surfboards to the bottom of the sentiment using wet glue and foam squares.
- Lastly, I die-cut another piece of white cardstock using the 4" x 5.25" stitched rectangle die and adhered this to the inside for a message.
Done!
I really love this card if I do say so myself. LOL. The glossy accents on the surfboards really make them pop. What do you think? I'd love to know...leave a comment below!
