Beach Challenge

Are you ready for a challenge?

Summer nights, sunsets, the sound of waves crashing on the shore – what could be more relaxing? Because these are the sights and sounds of life on the beach - what better way to challenge you all to a fun contest than to invite you to bring a taste of of the ocean into your creations! 

HOW TO PLAY: Try to incorporate the "feel" of the sea in one of your creations. It could be with a fun embellishment, a photo or even just a color scheme. Link your creation to this post or upload to Splitcoast using the keyword FLLCJULY. You have until Friday, July 10th at 5 PM Eastern to have your creation uploaded! We can't wait to see your creations! 

WHAT YOU COULD WIN: All of our new releases that will be revealed starting next Wednesday, July 8th, on the Flourishes Newsletter blog.

Here is my card, that I created, I was inspired by the vibrant wildflowers that grow along beaches.  I used the Summer Blossoms stamp set for my card.  I stamped the stems in Palette Chartreuse ink, to get the lighter color, I generation stamped, thats where you stamp the image again without re-inking the stamp.  The flowers were stamped and colored in using Copic markers, then cut out and popped up using foam tape.  The card base is kraft & the ivory paper is the Classic Ivory paper that Flourishes now carries (if you color with copics you will love it!! & only 4.99 for 25 sheets of cardstock, such an awesome deal!!).  I hope you decide to play along, the July sets are awesome and all scream summer!!
