Birthday, Everyday

Summer Surfboards

I am in love with the retro look and feel of these cards!  Oh my goodness!   For these cards I used Pretty Pink Posh’s Summer Surfboards stamp and coordinating die.  I heat embossed my images with Brutus Monroe Gilded, and then did minimal coloring with my Tombow alcohol marker #P879.  They are so cute!  The retro look makes this a perfect masculine card.  Of course, you could always change up your color pallet and make it more feminine.  For my paper choices, I used all StampinUp cardstock since I still have so much of it.  The colors I used are Very Vanilla, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Calypso Coral and Bumble Bee.  All my strips are cut to a quarter inch (.25).  And of course I can’t make a card without a little bling so I used Pinkfresh Studio’s Pearls in Gold.  You can always change out the sentiment and use the one that came with the stamp set and turn this into a “Happy Summer” card.  You can watch me demonstrate this card here.  https://youtu.be/4d8fpk0md08  Thank you for stopping by!
