Hey friends, it’s Christy here with another card for our Summertime Fun Challenge! When it’s my birthday, I always like to plan a little day trip to get away somewhere, so for this card, I wanted to feature a capybara family having a relaxing day at the beach, celebrating mom’s special day. I combined images from Capybaras, On the Beach, and Pool Party.


I colored the images with Copic markers and trimmed them out with the matching dies. Then I made a background by masking off the bottom right corner of a piece of Bristol and blending on Distress Oxide Inks. I used Antique Linen, Gathered Twigs, and Vintage Photo for the sand. Then I removed the mask and blended on Salvaged Patina, Salty Ocean, and Uncharted Mariner for the sea. I dry brushed some white acrylic paint along the edges to soften them into waves.


Once the background was dry, I cut some tiny pockets into both the sea and sand using the Riverside Backdrop: Portrait and the Ocean Wave Accents. I stamped a sentiment in the top right corner. Then I adhered my images with liquid glue and glued the focal panel to a Mermaid card base.


If you’d like to see the whole process of creating this card, you can check out the video tutorial on my YouTube channel, Christy Gets Crafty. I hope you enjoy it! We can’t wait to see what you create for our Summertime Fun Challenge. Have a wonderful day!

This is so much fun, Christy! Thank you so much for sharing today!

Hi friends it’s Samantha with some fun inspiration for you. The current challenge is all about summertime fun, and that’s all I needed to know so I could make a card about seashells and the beach!



I started by stamping the images from How You Bean? Seashell Add-On. Then I colored the images in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I decided to do the shells in lots of various shades of pinks! When they were dry; I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I used Distress Inks to ink blend the beachy background! For the ground, I used Ground Espresso, Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber. Then I splattered the same colors on top, as well as white acrylic ink. for the waves, I used Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Peacock Feathers.


Next, I used some more white acrylic ink and a dry brush, tapping the shoreline to add the foam to the wave! So fun!! It’s my favorite beachy card technique! I used the Sandy Beach Accents to add that extra special detail to the beach, and hidden shells.

I heat embossed the sentiment in white and onto some Black Licorice Cardstock and then popped it up with foam tape. I finished off the card with a sprinkling of clear sequins along the waterline and on some shells! So pretty!

Thank you so much for this cute inspiration, Samantha!
