Beach Girl Card Set

Hi everyone! Happy weekend!

My friend Elena designed the cutest stamp as a giveaway on her blog, and today, a few of us are sharing cards using the stamp. The beach girl stamp is just too cute! You can get it from Elena's blog.

It's been a while since I've done all-digi--it was great to do a full digi card again. :) I decided to make a card set. Here's one of the cards:


Beach Girl Card Set

For the beach girl, I resized her and then digitally paper-pieced her. Yep, all of the coloring on the girl (including her skin), are different digital papers from The Lilypad. The girl is the same for each card, but I changed the papers for the flags. This technique is great for making multiple cards or for paper piecing small areas. If you want a tutorial, let me know, and I'll make a video. :)

I layered her over a Lili Niclass (digital) watercolor journaling card. After I printed each panel, I stamped the sentiments--the one above is from Mama Elephant and the one below is from Paper Smooches:


Beach Girl Card Set

See? Paper piecing but no layers. I also added the smile digitally using the Paper Smooches digital sun stamp. I added a few sequins on each and layered the panels on papers from the American Crafts #Summer line.

Here's a picture of the whole set:

  9. I didn't even know there was such thing as "digital paper-piecing". I guess it's true what they say - that you learn something new each day. ;) Your card is really pretty!
    Hugs! xx
