My card is using my favourite 6 x 6 base, which I layered with pink and cream coloured card that had been cut with a swirly border punch. (I’m not sure what punch it was as it was borrowed from a crafty friend and I’ve given it back now).
For the background of my topper , I scribbled onto a stamp block with my aqua pens in 2 shades of blue,2 shades of pink and yellow in lines and spritzed it with a fine spray of water. I then stamped that onto my white stamping card. Onto that, I overstamped with the beach hut scene and coloured the huts in with my pens.
I layered this onto my card base flat, although I could have used foam pads for added impact, and the final touch was a stamped, coloured and cut out sea shell.
