Handmade Harbour Challenge October 16 - Something Pretty


Good Morning Crafties! Today is the "Something Pretty Challenge" over at Handmade Harbour and there are so many pretty stamps to choose from.  I decided on Beach Hut one of the new stamps.  It looks like this....


I had been wanting to 1) use my little white picket fence (LOL) and 2) try a Double Easel card so this was the perfect card to do both!  I really like the sweet effect.



And this card is functional...it completely folds up to a 5.5 square to be mailed!


Materials used:


Handmade Harbour digi stamp - Beach Hut 
Fiskars Grass Die
Lawn Fawn sentiment die & stamp
Copics
Ranger distressed blue ink (clouds - sponge technique)
Stash flowers & white picket fence
