Woo hoo! I'm so excited to be the Die Cuttin' Diva's Guest Designer this week! What an honour to contribute to such an inspiring blog with such an amazing, talented Design Team!
The theme this week is Just Beachy - how fitting with the lovely weather we've been having here!
This is my project this week:
I have had the Hometown Summer paper in my stash for so long, and it seemed like the perfect match for the background for this layout! I used the sketch from Stuck On U sketches, which you can see below, as inspiration for my project.

I used the Create A Critter Cricut cartridge to diecut the title and the beachy embellishments, and I inked the edges with Distress Inks. I embossed the plants with a bubble embossing folder after sponging with Distress Inks.

The scalloped edged cuts are made with the Spellbinders Nestabilities dies. For the little starfish I used gold embossing powder for shimmer.

I used Stampendous Shabby White embossing powder to 'sand' the diecuts. For the beach ball and octopus faces I used Enamel Accents in white and black to highlight the eyes. I never get tired of the Create A Critter cartridge! How can you not smile when you see a beach ball with a smiley face, lol?!

Wow! You have so many clever details on this layout! I love your use of white embossing powder as sand and gold embossing powder as shimmer on the starfish. I also really liked the different die cuts you chose and the bubble embossing you did on the plants. Your faces on the creatures are adorable! From the background paper you chose to the adorable photos, this layout is a real stunner and I'm so glad you shared your talents with us here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog!
