Beach Bums



A few more weekends of summer fun! I hope to be at the beach next week. However, my son called tonight and said a tropical storm could be coming their way. I hope it fizzles. I love the beach. Warm breeze, salty air, seashells and sand between your toes........

I bought two of these beach signs at Michaels on clearance. I did this one a little differently. I going to give this one to my son and daughter-in-law and since he surfs I thought Surf Edwin was perfect. The flip flops actually have sand from their beach. You will see a close-up further down on this post.

Here is what I used to create the sign:
Magnolia Stamps: Flip Flop Tilda, Surf Edwin, Beach Fence
Memory Box Die: Huno
Epoxy Stickers from Iron Orchid
Paper from Iron Orchid - Beach Cottage
Cheese Cloth
Liquid Pearls
Copic Markers

A close up of Tilda & Edwin; oh and the flip flops:






I am entering this project in the following challenges:

Whoopsi Daisy - Include a Sentiment
Tammy's Scrapin Corner - Weekly Challenge #24 Anything Goes
