Florida Sunset with Gemma

Today I’m sharing a card using this month’s theme of Embossing Glitters. I was inspired by the gorgeous Florida Sunset embossing powder to create a sunset beach scene.

I began with the background. I used the WOW clear embossing ink over a Triangles stencil from Pretty Pink Posh. I covered with the Florida Sunset embossing glitter, then heat embossed using the dual speed heat tool. I recommend heating from underneath when using embossing glitters, as more of the glitter stays put this way. I trimmed the panel down, then adhered to my card base.

Next, I die cut a wave border using a die from the Pretty Pink Posh Stacked Edges 1 set. I added a blend of blue distress oxide inks, then flicked with water for droplet details. I adhered this onto my card.

On another piece of white card, I added some yellow/orange distress oxide inks to create the sandy beach. I also added dots of copic markers which help to create look of sand. I adhered this to my card too.

I added images to my card, from Pretty Pink Posh Summer Surfboards and Tropical Birds, which I’d coloured with copic markers. I also adhered some PPP Espresso jewels to the tree to be coconuts.

Finally, I added a stacked die cut 'happy summer' sentiment, also from Pretty Pink Posh, to the sand.

Have a lovely day,

Gemma
