I have a card today for Time Out Challenge #168!
I haven't played the challenge in quite some time but as soon as I saw the inspiration photo I knew exactly what I wanted to use for my card. I used the Pretty Pink Posh Beach Scene die to create...my beach scene!
All my pieces inside the circle die were ink blended with Distress Oxide inks. The sentiment is from the Pretty Pink Posh Happy Summer die and 'Birthday Wishes' embossed in white is from the My Favorite Things Bitty Birthday Wishes stamp set.
I also did some 'Swinking' on my background!
I used Catherine Pooler Inks to Swink--Garden Party and It`s a Boy. I swept the colours across my acrylic block and them misted with water and put the block down on a piece of watercolour paper. I spritzed the panel with Imagine Crafts Shimmer Spritz.
What is swinking?
Swinking is a word made up by my friend Laurel Beard. Laurel and Ardyth Percy-Robb have a Swinking Challenge going on right now
Head over to one or both of there blogs to learn all about swinking!
