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!
