Happy Holidays... children with sandcastle square card - Day 295 of my 365 day challenge

Happy Holidays... children with sandcastle square card - 
Day 295 of my 365 day challenge

Hi Craft addicts!

Today's card for my challenge is a bright and cheerful card celebrating summer holiday time - made with one die and some backing papers.


How I made this card:-
  • I first of all cut out the mat and layer using 2 Tattered Lace Square nesting dies - the paper is from Hunkydory's Splendid Spots paper pad - you need 2 pieces as the 2 dies don't quite fit (the paper is double sided so you need to reverse one of them to get the stitched effect on both).
  • I then used a tape pen to attach the smaller layer to the larger one (I had used glue on one before but the glue showed through). 
  • Using white card, I then cut out the sandcastle die (again from Tattered Lace) and coloured it in using Chameleon pencils. I decided to use them rather than paints as it was easier for me to use them.
  • I attached it to the front of the 6" white pearlescent card using PVA glue.
  • Finally, I stamped out the Happy Holidays sentiments (from Lawn Fawn's Happy, Happy, Happy set using Memento's Tuxedo Black ink as I wanted to use alcohol markers and coloured the Happy part in using a red pen.
  • I trimmed them down and edged them with a black alcohol marker and placed them in opposite corners using foam pads. 

And there you are - a homemade/handmade card that was made using only a few products but is fun to remember happy holidays!
