You Had Me At Aloha ~ Double D

Aloha friends~ My friends Diane and Darlene are inviting us to the beach for their next challenge.

 

 

 I have many "ocean" stamps and dies, but not many for the beach.  Then I remembered about this sunbathing beauty from Whimsy Stamps.  

Penguin Beach Chair is the name of the stamp and I think he's just adorable, sunning himself while drinking a cool cocktail!

 

I colored him with copics and framed him using a polaroid snapshot frame from Lawn Fawn.  The sentiment from Honeybee Stamps fits him to a "T".

I do hope you'll visit DD Challenges to see how the team was inspired.  Here's the photo board to help inspire you further:

 

 There's a prize that could be yours to take home when you play along.

My friends at DD Challenges and I would love to see your card in the linky. Aloha, my friends!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sand, Surf, Sun! Summertime fun with TupeloDesignsLLC

Hello crafty friends~  It's Thursday, so that means it's time for me to post for TupeloDesignsLLC.  We're getting into the heat of summer and what better way to cool off than sitting on the beach drinking a nice cold glass of lemonade.  I wish I were there right now!

 Are you familiar with Whimsy Stamps?  Seriously, they have the cutest line of critters doing the most amazing things!  

 This Penguin Beach Chair image is just soooooo fun!  I colored him up using Copics, fussy cut him and then added the scene in the background using dies.   

The waves are cut using Lawn Fawn Ocean Wave Border Die.  After they were cut, I blended some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink onto the bottom of each layer.  The beach sand is cut using Lawn Fawn Garden Border Die.  This die isn't just for creating gardens.  As you can see in the photo, it makes great beach sand too!
