A Beary Nice Day at the Beach by Alma Olhava

Nothing screams summer more than a card made with a beach theme. The simulated embossed sand was a great way to showcase the wavy sentiment. Alma used a fun paper pleating technique at the bottom to tie the card together. You can see how much Bearly Adequate is enjoying his day. What a better way to celebrate hot summer days at the beach.

Missing You Bear by Cheryl Walker

Cheryl used alcohol inks on the bear and added a real feather for his quill pen. She got her Copic airbrush this week and was waiting for it so she could try out her new compressor — she loves it. She airbrushed the background die cuts with the Copic airbrush system. She added swirls and flowers, and of course a little bow.
