Beach, Barbecues/Picnics and/or Fishing Blog Hop



Welcome to our Summer Bash Blog Hop! This month we've combined the talents of both the Magnolia-licious Highlites DT and the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog DT. You will find the complete directions on how to enter over on the Magnolia-licious Highlites Blog.

If you've hopped over here from Mindy's blog your right on track. If you've just popped in here, please go back to the beginning, which is Sharon's blog, and then follow along from there. I'm telling ya, the projects created for this Hop are outstanding and you'll want to get inspired! From here your headed for Angela's blog where you'll pick up another letter. Please be sure to read down to the bottom of this post for the letter you will need to complete the sentence.

Here is the card I made for the hop. I chose an ocean theme, and technically you can't have a beach without an ocean, so I'm close!!! I have a lot of pictures to show you and I hope not to bog you down too much. I decided to make a center step card and I found this awesome paper recently during a clean up. I have no idea who made it, as the edge was cut off. I have used several images on this card so stick with me while I list them all out. Here on the front I've used 5 images...#237 BEACH TILDA, #612 BATHING RING,#367 TILDA SWIMMING (all from the 2009 Summer Collection). The little fish swimming in the waves was an image someone stamped for me years ago and I have no idea what his number is. I also used # 432 SEAWEED from the Bon Voyage Collection.


Here is a side view of the card so you can see how it sits. I've used mounting tape behind Tilda and behind the waves for dimension.

On the inside of the card I used another Tilda image #3057 TILDA SURFING and another little fish. Dew drops were used all over this card for bubbles. The waves are made with my Fiskars Bordering Waves punch. The sentiment is one that I made up and computer generated.



Here is a closer look at Tilda Surfing. All my images were colored with Copic Markers and the backgrounds were done with Distress Inks. Stickles were added to the waves, water and the little fish.



Here is a closer look of the fish on the inside of the card. The little one on the front of the card was colored the same.


Whew! You've made it to the end of my post and now it's time to reveal my letter. "M" is what you're needing to help complete your sentence. It's time now to hop on over to Angela's blog, I hope you'll enjoy the rest of your journey.

Hugs,
Barb
