MFT June Release Countdown - Day 3

Hello friends!  We're halfway through the new Release Countdown!  My card today features the new PI Beach Cutie Stamp Set.  I am such a big fan of the Pure Innocence stamps.  This month's set is just the cutest!

I first stamped my image onto smooth white card stock and colored it with my Copic Sketch Markers.  I then cut it out with the coordinating die.  For my background, I first created the ocean waves using the new Make Waves Stencil with some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink.  I LOVE this stencil.  It is super easy to use and gives you amazing results.

I then used the Drifts & Hill Stencil to create my sand.  I blended some Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Inks keeping the color darker toward the top left (where the most shade is) and lighter toward the bottom right.  I added some texture to the sand using a few shades of brown Copics and a White Gel Pen.

For my sky, I blended some Squeezed Lemonade, Tattered Rose and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Inks.  I then diecut a palm tree from the Beach Scene Builder Die-namics and blended it lightly with some Distress Inks (Mowed Lawn for the leaves and Vintage Photo for the trunk).  I added a few white dots from a gel pen to the coconuts.  Lastly, I stamped my sentiment with black ink and then added a scalloped white frame using the Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edge Die-namics.
