Let’s Crab Lunch Sometime

Hello. I have in my craft room again, taking advantage of the air con in there to cool down a little. I was inspired by a few challenges to create a summer/beach themed card and took the opportunity to use some new products.

The scene die cuts are from Waffle Flower, and the waves themselves also have stencils which you can use to colour them. Once the waves were cut and coloured, I used the additional die which creates the same shape as the wave die at the bottom in a light brown card for the sand. I also used the top of the wave die to create a light blue sky, so they would inlay and slot in together when backed by a piece of white card.

The dark blue frame was die cut from a Pinkfresh Studio die set and glued around the scene. I did cut the scene down around the edges to keep it within the square.

I die cut the crabs from two slightly different orange card from Spellbinders, then layered them together. Die cutting dark grey for the eyes, onto which I highlighted with white gel pen.

When placed onto a white card base, I felt it needed something extra, a little more detail on the plain white, so I also used the Waffle Flower ‘Seashell texture’ plate – no blending, leaving it white.

The framed scene was added, then the two sentiments were stamped using a Heffy Doodle set, then cut using a couple of strip dies, adhered with 3D foam.

I then added the two crabs with 3D foam.

I shall be entering the following challenges:

Double D Challenge – beach

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge – vacation

Aud Sentiments – fun fold and/or summer and a sentiment

Addicted To Stamps & More – die cuts and/or stencils

Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends – anything goes
