Die Cuttin Divas Challenge #75: Summer Fun

Hi friends,

You know I rarely enter challenges, but I thought I'd give this one a try.  Die Cuttin Divas are having Challenge #75 and it's perfect timing!!  My sister is visiting from Tennessee and it's her birthday.  I decided to use the card I made for the challenge for her birthday.  I used Life is a Beach.  The bucket is very cute.  I will admit I had a little bit of a hard time making this shaped card...but it came out cute.  I stamped the inside with MPS spanish sayings "Que Disfrutes" which means "Enjoy".  My sis is a beach lover and they are staying at a lovely hotel right on the beach.  I thought it was fitting.

The bucket was cut at 4.5".  I  used heat embossing for the glaze on the sand and bucket.  I also used Liquid Applique on the end of the shovel. I  was going for a sandy look, but had never used the product before, so I had no idea how it would turn out.  It kinda looks like snow.  Still cute.

Enjoy!
