Hello Friends

Well it is time to relax and have a little fun!  What a better way to do it then at the beach!! I am featuring two great dies that just scream surfs up!! The dies are Surfer Van and Surfboard SUV.

Design Steps:

1.  Using the dies Surfer Van and Surfboard SUV out the following pieces of card stock: orange, red, silver, brown, white, blue, grey and black (palm trees from a die no longer available). Assemble with a fine tip glue
2  Cut a piece of white card stock 8 3/8 x 3 7/8.  block off the top 1/3 of the card and use blue ink to create the water.  Then sprinkle with some water.  For the top 1/3 of the card use a cloud stencil and light blue ink
3. To create the sand use brown card stock and the Hills Slimline die.  Cut it two times
4.  Layer the sand as shown above.  Add the cards and the palm trees
5.  To complete the card glue the white panel onto a white slimline card base.  Add the sun and the sentiment

Thanks so much for stopping by!
