That's the theme at LIM this week, and I'd already half made a card that would fit the theme, but when I put it together there wasn't really enough white space to meet their CAS criteria, so I made another with the same set ;-)
These penguins in paradise are my favorite stamp set at the moment - I've made about 6 cards with them already. This one will be for a friend's son who has a birthday next week. A little masking and some colouring with inktense pencils and then some simple colour washes to hint at a beach and the sea.
I thought I may as well share the anniversary card I finished whilst I'm here. This is for friends who got married on a beach.
Same set, more masking but this time coloured with copics. The sentiment is actually just "you're the coolest" but there are lots of other sentiments in the set so it was pretty easy to pick out the letters I needed to add "couple" to it to make it suitable for an anniversary. Just mask off the letters you don't want with washi tape and remove it before stamping - it's a pretty nifty trick to get more from your stamps ;-)
Right having spent the afternoon glued to the Davis Cup and the Murray brothers, I really should get something done before the hubby comes home.....
