Hey there!  popping in with a card that I made for a few of challenges:  Fab Friday, Time Out and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge to use a die cut. I don't know about you, but a fun beach scene always says relaxation to me! I did a lot of masking and ink blending on this one.   I started by creating a mask from Eclipse tape using a circle die from Jillian Vance Design.  I made sure to cut the piece of Eclipse tape to fit my card front as I would be ink blending several different times.  I first placed the circle on my smooth bristrol cardstock panel and then added a strip of Post-It tape cross the bottom of the circle.  I then blended Salty Ocean distress oxide ink around the circle and to the top of the Post It tape.  I then moved the Post It tape strip to cover part of the sky and used Tea Dye distress oxide to create my sand.  I didn't use a lot of the Tea Dye as I didn't really want that much sand.  I removed the circle mask, adhered the entire panel mask and blended the sun using Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber distress oxides.  I removed the mask and die cut the panel with a rectangle die from Jillian Vance Design.  The die cut deck chair and drink are from a Stampin Up! stamp and die set.  I stamped the drink and the orange slice using Stampin Up! inks and die cut with the matching dies.  They were adhered together with Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive.  The deck chair was die cut from kraft cardstock and then the two were adhered to the panel with foam dimensionals.   The sentiment is from the Concord & 9th Pop Art Pineapple stamp set.   Finished by adhering the panel to my off white cardstock base.  (I use a combination of affiliate links in the body of my post as well as the links listed below.)
