September Card Chain, Beach Hut Bliss

 Hello,

Its reveal time for the September Card Chain Challenge. You can see them all HERE. 

This time I've sent my card to Jo here in the UK, and received this beautiful card from Gail in Canada

 

For my card I chose to use the Outdoors theme.- because it was the perfect excuse for another beach hut project!, and I just couldn't resist!

A couple of months ago I made a similar scene in a shadow box frame and enjoyed it so much that I thought it would work for a card too.

  

 I do love using digital papers, I tend to buy via Etsy because its so quick and there's so much to choose from.  Using digital papers allows you to customise the sizes of the images you print or even crop them to a better ratio for your project.

You can also print more than one copy, so its easy to build dimension into certain parts of your picture.

As well as using the digis and hand-cutting various elements I added tiny shells, beads, wooden items and leaves etc to build up my picture, And of course some Glitter Glue for some bling.  

 

I've collected the ephemera from all over the place over the last few years, but in case you're interested here's the details for the papers, which I bought from FantasyaDigitals via Etsy

:

Coastal Junk Journal Kit and Junk Journal Beach Kit

 

 I love these papers! They print really nicely - I just used some white textured Bazzill card to print on.

 

This is the framed picture I made a while back to try out the Shadow Box Punch
