AAA cards challenge #96, with video

This fortnight the AAA cards challenge is: summer fun.
Our sponsor this time is Happy Little Stampers and you could win a $20 gift card if you play along.


 I thought my die (from China) with boat and seagulls was very summery :-D

 I die cut the die from 300grams/140lbs card stock and ,yes, I used the other side of a messed up one...waste not want not..lol...

 I then placed it back in the opening and stuck it down with Scotch tape.
Traced the opening onto the card base and applied Distress inks: Peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon, blueprint sketch and faded jeans, as per one of my recipes.

 The sentiment is from Joy! Crafts, and I think it's one or two years old, maybe three. but please use whatever sea like sentiments you have. I wish the seagulls from My Favorite Things or the Mermaids were in at the time of filming. I've used Versafine Onyx black ink.

 As an embellishment I used a metal seastar/starfish and I stuck it down with Aleene's fast grab tacky glue.

    Hey Maaike, I enjoyed watching your video. Super impressed by your colour combo file, how organised is that! And you picked a super selection of colours for this card, they really shine out from behind that intricate die cut. Awesome post.

    Beautiful card Maaike! I love that die and you made a really good video showing how all your steps. If you haven't already, you should show more of your swatch binder in a video :)

    Such pretty ink blending, Maaike. I love the colors you selected. The sailboat made me smile. We take walks along Lake Michigan and watch the boats. Smiles, Tracie
