MHKDesigns June/July Monthly Challenge

 

Hello, and welcome to our SURPRISE Birthday Beach Blog Hop for the lovely Asha!  You should have arrived here from Bernie Cuttino (guest) blog.  If not, start at the MHKDesigns blog to complete the hop for more chances to WIN!  We are celebrating a very special lady today, and we're doing so by creating beachy birthday cards to wish her many happy returns!

 

 

 

I used MHKDesigns Happy Birthday from the Eat Your Cake digital set and MHKDesigns Serene Seaside Papers.  I distressed my card, papers and die cut anchor and ovals  with Tim Holtz antique linen, tea die, and salty ocean inks,  and embellished with a few Dew Drops. 

Thank you so much for joining in our hop to say "Happy Birthday" to a dear friend!  Your next stop on the hop is Jerrie Mead's blog!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR ASHA!!

I used a technique my friend Shirley (aka Glittered Paws) told me about.  Put your distress inks on an acrylic block and then pick them up with a clear Wink of Stella brush to color your image. I used this technique on the ocean and sand.  It shows up best on the close up below:
