For the image on this card, I inked the stamp with versamark ink and then with yellow ink, stamped onto white cardstock and clear embossed. The outside of the sun was cut out and the edges distressed a little, then I used the yellow marker on the edges to add a bit more dimension.
I inked the stamp again with versamark ink and then colored with markers before stamping the image and clear embossing once again. I then colored this image with copic markers and then punched out and mounted onto the yellow sun shape. This is popped up on the corner of the designer paper. The card front is core'dinations which was embossed using a cuttlebug swirls folder and then sanded to really make the embossing pop. The sentiment was stamped and punched out with the word window punch and attached to the front of the card.
Now don't you wish you were on this beautiful beach right now? What sereneity.
Thanks for stopping by. Come back tomorrow for day four!
