Make Every Day a Beach Day Card by May Guest Designer Adam Karle


Hello friends, today we have a card that will have us all thinking about the summer to come.  Who doesn’t want to vacation at the beach? “Aloha Newton” has beat us all to the punch. Newton’s Nook has a knack for creating stamps that speak to our inner selves.

This is a standard A2 card and is my favorite type of card: clean and simple. I started with a white layer one and a circle stencil I made myself using a piece of plastic. I ink blended the circle using two shades of blue ink.  Next I used a darker shade of blue ink and white ink to create the wave action in the circle.  I finally stamped the sentiment in black ink directly onto the card layer. (Something I do not usually do.)

I stamped the napping Newton and colored him using Copic markers. I cut out the image using my Scan N Cut and an xacto knife but if you prefer, there is a coordinating die set for this that is available for purchase: Aloha Newton Die Set.

I attached the image at the bottom of the circle using foam tape. Next I added a few clear sequins and attached the card layer to a dark teal card base.
