Photoplay Paper - Go With the Flow

Hello,

This is my second Photoplay Paper card for World Cardmaking Day! I had so much fun playing with the Fish Tales collection I had to make another card!

I started by stamping and cutting out the images with my mom's Brother  Scan and Cut. Then I used my Spectrum Noir markers to color them up.

From the Fish Tales collection pack I pulled out a wave pattern and I cut a panel with a stitched rectangle. From my scraps I found some light Kraft and I fussy cut a wave to match the bottom wave of the panel. I adhered it to the pattern paper panel to make sand.

I added the panel to a Kraft card base. Then I added the images with foam tape. From the sticker sheet I added the Go With the Flow sentiment flag with foam tape.

Thanks for stopping by!!

The hardest techniques to learn was coloring, followed by masking and designing. The easiest technique was stamping, then embossing and die cutting.

The results of the survey show that Design, Stamping and technique information was the most frustrating things about card making. The easiest included die cutting and pattern papers. And the majority of people wanted to see techniques in the perfect Card Making Manual, followed by pictures and step by step instructions and design principles.

I really appreciate everyone who took the time to complete my Card Making Manual Survey! It has really helped me decide on the best layout and content for my manual.

Now on to the winner of my Giveaway! I used Random.org to find the winner:
