Day at the Beach Sunglasses Card.

Hello there,
You'll be reading this post on Friday morning (all going to plan) which is sure to be a big day here at Chez Rae - as it's prom day for our Zoe! So I am writing this on Thursday evening as I'm sure there will be the whole hair/make up/wardrobe 'thing' happening aaaaaalll day here ;-) We are just hoping the weather holds up and the rain stays away for all the photos. It may be a bit too much to hope the sun shines though, I think...
So, I'm channelling the sun with this card instead! This is the last of my makes using the "Day at the Beach" stamps (sadly retired)....

 I coloured the frames in different colours and added shading to the lens' with smoky slate before topping them with Wink of Stella in clear, gotta love me some sparkle!!

 The sentiment is from the Cool Treats stamps and some sequins from my stash too!

 And one more photo to finish today.
Remember today is the last day to use the June hostess code when shopping SU! with me, for a surprise treat in the post in July ;-)

Well, that's the card for today.
I'll share a photo of the prom girl on Instagram later in the day if you fancy a peek :-)
Thanks so much for looking today!

Fun in the Sun! Using Day At The Beach by Stampin' Up!

Hello there from a hot and sunny Southampton!
It's super hot here and right now we are all wishing we had air con at home and not just in the car ;-)
 So, I made this card recently with the (sadly, now retired) Day At The Beach stamp set but I think it's just perfect for this weather, take a look...

 I stamped each image then, using a blender pen and the same ink pad, added a little shading

 Before colouring over each image with my clear Wink of Stella pen and adding coordinating sequins from my stash ;-)

 Ah, to be by the pool while blogging... #lifegoals

 Well, that's all for today, I'll be back tomorrow with another (final) Day At The Beach card.
I'm off to my craft room for a couple of hours, see you soon :-)

A Rainbow of Ice Lollies using Stampin' Up! Supplies

Hello there,
So, today's card uses the retired stamp set "Day at the Beach", I do hope you managed to purchase this before it went? If not, you could make something similar using the Cool Treats stamps...
I made this (and two more cards, coming soon) a few weeks ago in anticipation of the summer weather but as I have had a little unforeseen blogging hiatus I appear to have missed those few days in the UK, lol! Hopefully you will be reminded by this card...

It's not too easy to see but after colouring the 'bars' on the lollies, using the same ink pads I stamped with and my blender pen, I added some clear Wink Of Stella to each of them too.

 and then I dug through my sequin selection and came up with some pretty good matches...

and that's today's card! I hope you like it :-)

 Thanks for looking today :-)
