PE: Honorable Mention at Timeout Challenge!
Hello and welcome! We have a new challenge on Seize the Birthday blog. The challenge is to make birthday projects, and you also have the option of using a ‘Topping’ that is given in every challenge. And the ‘Topping’ this time is ‘Beachy Birthday’!
I usually love to make my birthday cards with the optional Topping, and oh, I had lots of trouble with this one. I neither have any stamp sets with a beach theme, not am I adept at creating a beachy scene.. I was totally lost! Thankfully, inspiration struck, and I was able to make this neat, one layered card.
I used stamps from Reverse Confetti ‘Weather it Together’, and drew some squiggly lines for the ocean itself. I colored the scene using Zig Brush pens. The sentiment comes from Bo Bunny ‘Sentiments’ stamp set.
With this card I am joining the following challenges –
Just us Girls challenge #443: Outside
Addicted to CAS challenge #137: Sea
AAA Card Challenge #116: 4th Big Birthday Bash
CAS Watercolor June Challenge: Ocean
Time Out Challenge #111: Holidays with an optional twist of One Layer Card
I hope you are inspired by this card! Check out the Seize the Birthday blog for more inspiration from out fabulous DT and also from our talented Surprise Party Guest, Sonja K! And don’t forget to join the party! 🙂
Thank you so much for stopping by! 🙂

I just Love your sweet watercolored beach scene, Ashwini. Your design makes such a Happy card for a Summer Birthday. TFS and joining us at CAS Watercolour. Hugs..
Thank you very much, Nancy!!
You always feel a bit “nauseated” with sea themed cards… and then you show up with the cutest, fab beachy cards! As your doctor, I recommend, at least, one beachy card per week… no arguing! 😀
I sure was, Cris! But I feel a lot better now… So maybe I can skip that treatment and get going with my usual diet? 😆 Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving me these lovely words! 😃

Thank you so much Karen! Glad you liked it!
Well, for someone with no beachy products you certainly created the most fabulous beach scene!! Love how you drew the waves, the different tones of blue at a lot of interest. And the drawing/colouring of the beach itself really does look sandy. Your so clever and I love seeing you at TIME OUT!
Your words flatter me, Shona!! I am so glad you liked it so much! Thank you so much!!
Such a great little scene! Love the bright colours and CAS design.
