more Beachies!

Tomorrow at All That Scraps, Christine will release 3 more Beachies…this time in digi.  The set is called Beachies II and they are adorable! 

Here’s a sample of one of the images.  To see all 3, check out the ATS blog and gallery!

I had my Emma all colored and then found some fun polka-dot paper to match.  Usually I color after I choose the paper, but sometimes I change it up.

I wanted to emboss the pink panel but I couldn’t find a Cuttlebug folder I was happy with.  Then I remembered the long-neglected Fiskars texture plates I have and found the perfect wave pattern!  These plates do not emboss as deep as the Cuttlebug folders, but if you lightly wet your cardstock before embossing it, the impression comes out much better!  I just wet my hand under the faucet and wipe my fingers over the paper to get it slightly moistened.

Some Cuttlebug diecuts and Primas were added for accents and I just had to add a tiny Prima to her hair.  ;0)
