Mary is our hostess for this week's Color Challenge. She gave us a beautiful color combination of SU Dapper Denim, Tangerine Tango, and Sahara Sand. Her dessert option is to use SU Soft Suede. I used all of the colors, or colors closely related, on my card.
My card for the challenge is a beach scene because I just received the new Hero Arts My Monthly Kit for June 2018, and it is all about the sea and beach. Therefore, I had to use it for this card.
This monthly kit is the best one yet. The included Sand Embossing Powder is remarkable as it looks like sand when it is heat set. It is close in color to the SU Sahara Sand color. I used it on the card for the sentiment, footprints, and frame. Doesn't the "hello" sentiment look like someone wrote it in the sand?
I created the ocean with stamps from the kit and blue colors, one of which is close in color to the SU Dapper Denim. The sky and clouds are a light blue, and the clouds are covered with a White Puff Embossing Powder that raises more than usual when heat set.
I stamped the sailboat in Tangerine Tango and beach ball in Sahara Sand, Tangerine Tango, and Dapper Denim. The rope corner die cut is made from Soft Suede cardstock.
When assembling the card, I attached the frame to the main panel with Double-Sided Foam Tape and the panel and frame to a piece of SU Dapper Denim cardstock. This was attached with a strong adhesive to the white card base.
I greatly appreciate you stopping by and leaving a comment!

Wonderful beach scene...love the dimensional effects of your clouds, your sand frame and "hello". The the curve of rope added to your frame...a GREAT card, Bev!

Oh Bev, this is such an inviting beach scene I wish I was here right now. The sand embossing powder really is impressive and looks even more so how you used it on your card. The writing in the sand is amazing! I also love the texture in your fluffy white clouds. The boat, beach ball and bit of rope in the corner are the perfect elements for this wonderful beachy card. Hugs! ~Karen.
