Vintage style card

The blue pattern paper is from the La Isla Bonita ATC set and the image of the lady is from the Beauties on the Beach Collage set both from the Gecko Galz.

The card is 7 inches by 5 inches in size. For the red card, I used a floral stamp design and a red ink pad, and also clear embossing powder that I heat set to give a raised effect. The front of the card is layered using the red and blue card in different sizes and I also re-sized the image to fit on the front of the card 


The parasol I hand-stamped onto the same blue patterned card and cut it out, then I trimmed it with white lace and pearl string. I added a thin wooden stick to make it look realistic and adhered the parasol onto the card base. 

The sunglasses are a metal cutting die that I used to cut out the yellow frame and I coloured the inside of the frame with an alcohol pen. The word Summer I cut out and adhered it down underneath the image of the lady. I added a handmade paper clay shell that I had previously made and coloured and I adhered that to the bottom right of the card. To finish I added 3 blue flat back embellishments to the top right of the image to give a finished look
