A Look Back at North Coast Creations' May Release

Welcome! Thank you for stopping by and sharing a bit of your day. Today, we are taking a look back at North Coast Creations' May Release. I hate to see the month go... Isn't spring just flying by? **sigh**

All the more reason to celebrate good weather and all of those spring and summer activities! And with that in mind, here is the card I created using Happy Camper.

I stamped one tree image on Copic compatible paper and colored it. I then stamped, colored and cut two more trees along with the campfire and sign. After die cutting the original image, I used a scallop punch, sponge dauber and light blue ink to create faux "clouds." I added the base image to another blue die cut panel before affixing to the die cut card stock base. I added my two trees, campfire and sign with dimensional foam for added depth. I love the airy feel to this design!

Here's another peek at the set I used...

and some lovely dies from our

sister company, Our Daily Bread Designs.

Thanks again for stopping by! Please visit my fellow DT members, affectionately knows as the "Coasters" to see what they have created! {{hugs}}

I have a couple of projects to share today including one perfect for that camping aficionado in your life and the darling dancer you know! Let's take a peek...

I stamped the trailer and sign on Copic compatible paper and colored each before fussy cutting. I stamped the trees (using masks) to create a forest. I used my Copics to create random blades of grass and some soft blue ink and scalloped piece of paper to create the fluffy clouds. I added the camper and sign with dimensional foam.

And here's the set. Isn't it cute?

The second project is decidedly more feminine with lots of seafoam, white and pink layers. I distressed some of the DP and stamped the image on white Neenah paper. I did minimal coloring since I wanted the ballet slippers to appear white with pink ribbons. I added a seafoam bow, die cut greenery and a coordinating sentiment panel from the same set.
