A Tuesday hello, lovely bloggers. A real, honest-to-goodness cool front has blown in and although it's causing my allergies/sinuses to clap back, I'm happy it's here for a couple of days.
So, here I am with a birthday card for one of my many nephews. Although I'm using papers normally used for summer, the colors are autumnal and hey, every season hits the beach! 😀 I'm using The Paper Shelter digital papers and image that is all pre-colored. I did not do any coloring. I've not been too steady with my fingers and pincer grip lately, so not having to color has been a blessing. This was a pretty simple card to make, after sizing the papers in PSE, printing out, cutting and die cutting.
SUPPLIES USED:
The Paper Shelter's Viking Vacation image and backing paper (inside and on back)
TPS Lifeguard On Duty 2 backing paper (on front)
TPS Hippie Van backing paper (inside)
Creative Dies Nested Octagonal dies
MFT sentiment
Versafine Clair ink
Clear embossing powder for sentiment
Inside, I created a sentiment in PSE before printing out.
On back, same backing paper as the front, but right side up this time, and a stamped and punched siggie.
And a final look. The Paper Shelter's challenge this week is to Alter your image in some way. Not only did I crop the viking image, but I also on purpose used the backing paper upside down on front! Well, it looked better that way, lol.
Thanks for visiting! XOX
MY CHALLENGE PLAYLIST:
I cropped the Viking image and then used the backing paper upside for the background :-)
Octagons, squares, circles, lines and swirls
Squares, circles, swirls
A go-to technique for me when my arthritic hands hurt is to use digital images/papers

Maybe no colouring Aimes, but it takes time to put everything together, and I think it takes a designer too. I LOVE your card and, I'm sure your nephew will love his fun and colourful card too.
Hope you're feeling better soon.

Your card is freaking awesome!! Yes, all seasons hit the beach! I love your card my friend. Hopefully, your fingers start to ease up so you can color again. Isn't having a cold front going through a lot of fun? Our temps are finally dropping to "slightly" above average high 80's to low 90's. Next week we're supposed to drop 20 degrees.
That is one cute Viking - if a Viking can be cute! Love the autumn colour scheme that you used as well.
This guy is a pretty fun Viking. I love those big sunglasses and the surfboard. I like him. And you asked in a comment if I have CSU? Yes. They are more just chronic urticaria, but I've spent just over 5 years dealing with them. Time for them to stop. Have a great middle of the week, and hope it's not too cold in your area. hugs-Erika
Supercute! Love it! Hugs Heidi TPS DT
