Prettie Wednesday . . . revisited!

So sorry I never got back yesterday with my Prettie Wednesday card - Wednesdays are our busiest day here and it just never happened! But I couldn't just not post so . . . .  Remember the challenge was to make a card inspired by your blog banner and the 2 sets featured this week are Look Out World and Beach Bum

My blog banner is pretty "girly" I think - or at least not easily translated into a boy-ish card - lol!  But I think I managed to come up with something that works.  I used Beach Bum and went with the basic colors of my blog and the arching shape of my banner.


I scored the cardbase every 1/2" to mimic the background of my blog - the green stripe. I think this little image is just adorable - anyone with boys I'm sure can totally see their little guy here with his goggles and flippers on! *grin*  The waves at the bottom are just the negative space of a scalloped border - love that dp!

Thanks for coming back today!!  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Cardstock: Spring Moss (Papertrey Ink), White (Neenah), Patterned Paper: Woodland Collection Mini Dot (TCP Studios), Stamps: Beach Bum (Paper Pretties), Ink: Memento, Accessories:  Nestabilities (Spellbinders), Copic markers, Medium scalloped die (Papertrey Ink), rhinestones (Taylor's Tiny Twinkles), Clear Glaze pen

Cute, Julie! Glad you got a chance to stamp. This image totally makes me giggle! Fab coloring! Love how you used the negative of the scallops to create the waves.
