Since I won 2 digital stamps from Bows and Berries a couple weeks ago on My Partner in Crafting Crime Challenge I was able to play in several summertime or beach themed challenges this week. One of the stamps I picked was this wonderful beach bag since I didn’t have any beach themed stamps. It is even one of their brand new releases! This card was simple and fun to make. For the word “Relax” I cut out the word and then backed it with kraft paper. I then stuck the cut out letters back in so it looked like someone wrote in the sand!
CHALLENGES:
1) Alphabet Challenge Blog – J for Just one word – Our challenge for you this week is J for Just One Word. We only want to see One Word on your work this week please!
2) Bows and Berries Challenge #9 – Kraft paper I came up with this card trying to use Kraft paper with one of their images that I have and this is what I came up with!!
