Slimline Beach Scene Card

Have you checked out all of the unique slimline dies in the Rubbernecker store yet?  I thought this fun Slimline Postage Die would be perfect for creating a postcard-inspired card for a friend that I’ve been missing lately.  Embellished with just a couple of die-cuts on a pretty ink-blended background, I love how the extra empty space afforded by the slimline format really allows me to convey a sense of absence.

INK-BLENDED BACKGROUND

  • Start by cutting a piece of white cardstock with the Slimline Postage Die.
  • Using a blending brush or sponge dauber, apply Lemon ink (Color Fuse Set #1) to the top center area of the die-cut in a circular motion to create the sun.
  • Blend Apricot ink (Color Fuse Set #2) across the bottom of the die-cut and around the yellow area just a bit.
  • Blend Sky ink (Color Fuse Set #7) next to the orange areas in the top corners.  (It’s ok if the overlapping areas turn a little green or brown since this actually looks natural!)
  • Blend Serene ink (Color Fuse Set #8) on the top two corners of the die-cut.

CREATING TWO-TONED WAVES

  • Die-cut a piece of light aqua cardstock with the Slimline Postage Die.
  • Position one of the Waves Dies about an inch up from the bottom and cut the die-cut again all the way across (you’ll have to cut twice to complete the cut).
  • Nestle the Waves Die back onto the die-cut and use it as a stencil by inking beneath it with Whisper Ink (Color Fuse Set #9) and a blending brush, creating a foamy top to the waves.

DIECUTTING THE REST OF THE SCENE

  • Die-cut white pearl, blue pearl, and silver foil cardstock with the Beach Umbrellas Die to form the canopy, stripes, and umbrella post, respectively.
  • Die-cut white woodgrain and blue pearl cardstock with the Beach Chairs #2 Die to form the frame and fabric of the chair, respectively.
  • Die-cut kraft woodgrain and two shades of green pearl cardstock with the Palm Trees Die to form the trunk and palm fronds of the palm tree.
  • Assemble all die cut shapes with liquid glue.
