These are my cards for tonights su gathering. One of the girls was going on a warm vacation and decided that we should make cards with a beach theme. I struggled with this one as I don't really have any stamps of this type. My daughter (mizamb) however, has the fishy friends set which I thought might work.
So, the little crab it is. Both cards are similar with a little variation. I used lt. blue cardstock for the background embossed with a cuddlebug emb. folder. Palm trees and shells were cut out with the cricut. A punch was used for the sun. The crab was stamped on white cardstock and colored with prisma colors and OMS. I used nestabilites to cut the crabs out and then went around the edges with bordering blue. I cut a second nestability for the card on the right and embossed with the cuddlebug. The sand was made with 3 different colors of cardstock which I ripped and then used my spritzer tool to spray choc. chip ink to make it look like sand. I used a creamy caramel marker to color the shells as they didn't have much color to them. SU markers were used to hilite the trees. Sponged around the sun with summer sun & more mustard. The crabs were popped up with dimensionals.
Here is the end result. TFL
