So today I am sharing a card created with the stamp set Surf and Turf using the matching dies that will be released on April 30th!
I first sponged a background with Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, and Mustard Seed. I let that dry, rounded the corners and adhered it to my card base with foam tape. I colored the cute little characters from the Surf & Turf Stamp set with Copic markers and cut them out with the new matching dies. I cut the waves with the new Waves dies and added some white dots with my white gel pen. I layered the waves on my sponged background and glued a tan circle just underneath the top wave for a little beach. I adhered all of the cute little animals with foam tape and stamped the sentiment at the top.
Thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy the hop!
Kay :)
