While cruising or "Blurffing" around the other day I stumbled across a fun tutorial by Suzanne Dean about how to create landscapes/backgrounds. You can see the tutorial HERE.
I used her technique to create this card... Not too sure that I did my landscape any justice but I do like these "hot chicks". I stamped and colored them first then cut them out and adhered them into their little beach scene. The sea shells were actually buttons but I cut off the little plastic loops and attached them with 3-D glue Dots. I didn't have an oval large enough to create a mask for my beach scene so I used a hinged metal box as my template for the blue cardstock. Clever?
The sketch I used is the monthly challenge from the Susana's Custom Art & Card Design Group over at Paper Craft Planet. This group and the Fans of Karen Lockhart Group are a couple of my favorite places to hang out. The gals are so welcoming, supportive and friendly. Not sure if there is a prize, hopefully one of the other gals will leave a comment and set me straight. Prize or no prize, it was a fun sketch.
If you visit me very often you are going to become very familiar with hearing me speak of Lockhart stamps and Susana's Custom Art & Card Design since my Guest Design Team spot officially begins April 1st. Check out Susana's Blog HERE
