Paper Craft Planet Breaks for Stamps

We have another fun challenge for you today. The Paper Craft Planet Super Novas are using images from the Humorous Seniors line from I Brake for Stamps for a sketch challenge (designed by our very own Lynn).

Here's my somewhat twisted version of the sketch. Since the image I was working with, Floating Wilma, is a horizontal one, I flipped the sketch to come up with this.

I colored my swimming senior image using Copic markers and used a stipple brush to add a soft watery backdrop. I picked some wave-patterned papers and embellishments to keep with the water theme. The paper that covers most of the 5" square cardfront is from K & Company's Citronella line--so sparkly! I also embossed a turquoise panel with the D'Vine Swirls embossing folder to use along the right side of the card. I computer-generated the "life's a beach" sentiment to complete the card.

You'll definitely want to check out what the rest of the talented Super Novas came up with using these fun images:
