"Hit the Beach" cards

 Another simple design.

Tools:  Stamp, black heat embossing powder, heat gun, colored pencils, and glitter.

TIP: The heat embossing creates a raised image in black which makes using color pencils a cinch.  You can color as dark as you want and it's basically impossible to go outside of the lines.  The red almost looks like ink but it has a nice even finish.  (Invest in some nice quality pencils.  Crayola wont quite cut it!)

Above is a greeting card and below, I used a miniature card (the kind you would find in a bouquet of flowers or on a gift bag).  I try to buy stamps that are small enough to work for both.  The little cards (below) are perfect for sending a quick "Thinking of You" or for attaching to a small gift.
