Today we are kicking off the StampNation Summer Beach Vacation event with a Blog Hop. Each of the StampNation Dream Team members, along with some of our crafty friends, are hopping along sharing cards inspired by our first challenge, "Beach Style", as well as a peek at our favorite projects from the event!
Here's my card for the first challenge
What is my Beach Style?
Packing up and heading to the sand. The retro van because it is JUST THAT COOL and palm trees in the background. I used Avery Elle's new Surf's Up beach inspired stamp set for my card which allowed me to colour the van retro orange, toss a surfboard on the roof and of course some silver Wink of Stella for the hubcaps! To stamp the palm tree on the ocean side of the van I created a post it mask of the surf board and the van, masked them off and stamped the palm.
It's time to hop along now. Make sure you leave comments at each of the blogs listed below to be eligible to win...
