One of my favorite memories of my time in Hawaii was when my BFF, Hedy, came to visit. Our mission was to have a picnic at sunset on a different beach each evening at sunset. I made this card to commemorate this special time.
To create the background sunset I used the powdered chalk colors: Dizzy, Sky, Peach, Gitty and Perky. You can find all powdered chalks by Stamp N Plus' line of Chalk-AH-Lots. As I've mentioned before, I use Staples matte photo paper with the Chalk-AH-Lots. This paper really seems to enhance the beauty of the chalks. The surfboards were cut with a Spellbinders die, I embossed them to create the design on the boards and used the die as a stencil to create the outlines. The tropical leaves were cut with a die by Joy! Crafts. I added some silk flowers and Flower Soft centers.
Surf's Up! Grab your board and head to the beach...Paulette
