For this card i have used "a little bit sketchy" range of the  toddlers from Sheena Douglass. I am on Sheenas DT where my products usually are shown on the create and craft tv channel.  Anyway the image is coloured in copic sketch markers and cut out. The card base has been covered in biege sand coloured paper. I have then taken a large square piece of card and covered it in randomly ripped up pieces of masking tape and when totally covered i then used various brown distress inks to cover  the tape. Once fully covered i sprayed it with crafters companion stick and stay spray and then sprinkled over gold embossing powder. I then heated the powder and with the glitter content it made it sparkle and look like fancy sand.

Once the fancy sand is completely dry i used my cricut carts to cut out a fancy scallop matt and a twirly flourish, I put the coloured image on top and stuck it down with pinflair glue gel. I then raided my mums bathroom where she has a large shell that contains all beachy type things like seaweed, coral, shells and assorted materials which i applied to the card with pinflair so it was sure to be secure. The other elements like the cloud hearts, the bottle and the sentiment are also from the stamp sheet.

I would also like to enter this fancy sand card into the Patches of Pink link up for this week.

This next card was such fun to create. I have used sand  backing paper and used a beach clothes line stamped image and cut it out close to the edges and coloured in copics. i then attached it to the card with pinflair glue so it is raised up. Ive added a sentiment beach sticker with bling for effect. Sorry but this photos seems a tad blurred, it was ok when i took it initally!
