Soo this little lady is the smallest in the release but she sure did capture my heart. I think sometimes the little guys get overlooked but I promise you they still make great cards. I mean, just look at the sassy bunny strutting across the beach with her adorable bag and fancy glasses. She and I would be friends.
Because I have my one sassy girl as a focal point I knew I would need to create a lot of interest with my background. Actually, that's how the card started. I was talking to a friend who suggested I make some kind of sand. And that led to creating different textures to add interest.
To create the textures I used a combination of ink blending and embossing powders. Since I created a little mini scene I stamped the Beach Background in the same blues I used for the ocean and used it as a mat for the scene panel.
Here is a close up of the sand texture created with the embossing powder. It's really lovely in person. I'll definitely be using it again in the future.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Your next stop on the hop is Nancy Sheads
