Our challenge theme at Cardz 4 Galz is A Summer Day, which for many of you is an extremely hot one this year. What better way to spend a summer day than to be on a beach with water close by?
For my card I used a new stamp set found on Amazon made by a company called Mvchifay Clear stamps and it had matching dies with it. I added stamps from other sets, Kitchen Sink stamps for the water, clouds from an MFT set, and a StampinUp set for my sunshine. For my sandy beach I used some real sandpaper, an idea I got from a stamping buddy recently. I stamped the water and added a few scrap pieces near the sand to give some curves to the edges. The images were coloured with pencils and Sakura glaze pens. I also added Nuvo Crystal drops to the ball and life rings. As well I stacked several die cuts together to get more dimension.
I quite like the result which is not always the case, as you know. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to seeing your cards in the gallery.

I’m back from our little boating trip. Took my computer with me, never got it out of its case. So busy with other stuff and as is often the case inconsistent WiFi so I didn’t bother. Glad you like this card.

I’m learning to use all sorts of items from different places to get the look I want. Stamp sets can be combined more than we usually realize.
