Dropping You A Line

 Hi friends!

I hope are having a fabulous day!

Today starts a new challenge over at the

  Addicted To Stamps & More Challenge Blog and it is....

#409 Any Occasion

Here is a look at the card that I created:

My daughter recently purchased this stamp set for me as a gift and I couldn't wait to get it inky. This challenge was the perfect time! Here is how I created my card. I started with a white A2 card base and covered it with some polka dotted and stripped patterned papers. Once I had those layers adhered, I rounded both of the top corners with a corner rounder. Next, I cut out some waves using a die from MFT and heat embossed my greeting onto the front wave. I added a sky background that I created by using some distress ink and a cloud stencil and adhered my pieces together, popping up the front wave with foam tape. I die cut a frame and added that to my waves and sky, carefully cutting away any excess background that was showing before adding it to my card front. I colored those adorable little images from MFT with my Copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I positioned them where I wanted and used a bit of liquid glue to hold them in place. I completed my card with a few die cut clouds and some glossy accents for a little interest to mimic the wet water. 

Copic Colors Used:

**Bunny: E40, E41, E42, R30, R00**

**Seagull: C0, YR21, YR24, R30**

**Bathing Suits: R24, R27, R39, C0**

**Boat: E33, E35, E37, B21, B23**
