Timeless Tuesday ~ Think Summer!

Hey fellow stampers! It's Tuesday and time for another fabulous Timeless Tuesday Challenge over at Flourishes!

This week our super talented hostess Deborah, is challenging you to create a card or project with Summer in mind and to incorporate sheer ribbon into your project (FTTC222)!  Yup... think summertime ~ beaches, playing in the water, camping, vacationing, sunshine, gardening... whatever you think of when you hear the word 'summer'!

So the first thing that I think of when you say "summer" is the beach! My family and I LOVE the beach. We're so lucky to actually live on a lake here in Alberta so we get to see our little version of a beach everyday.

I began by creating a Slider Card base. You can see how I made my card using this Splitcoast tutorial right HERE.

I knew I wanted to create a fun shaker aspect to my card so I cut out 2 copies of the Flourishes Perfectly Pierced Hourglass Dies using Flourishes' Classic White Cardstock.  I also cut a piece of Clear Cover Cardstock to use as well.  I began by cutting out the center of one of the white cardstock die pieces and adhered the clear cover cardstock to the back.  Then I stamped my masked shells from the "Seaside Life" stamp set on the solid die.  Adding an entire ring of 3D foam adhesive to the back of my window, I added some clear glitter and then adhered the shell images to the window front.

I used the following Color Made Easy cardstocks for matting: Emerald Coast (Rain) and Candy Pink (Sweet Tart).

I coloured my shells using the following Copic Collections:  BG000, BG11, BG32, R000

 

Here's a close up of my shaker...

My slider card, when you pull on the ribbon at the top, a secret card pops up on the top and the bottom. For my ribbon pull I combined some fun White Seam Binding, some Metallic Silver String and a fun Color Made Easy - Emerald Coast Light button.

For both of my pop-up cards, I again stamped some sea life image from the "Seaside Life" stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you'll join us for our summertime inspired challenge this week!
