Walrus beach card

After having created the adorablly sweet seal from my previous post I realized that the basics of the seal body could also be turned into a walrus.
That is how this little fellow came to be.

 

I created a serene beach background for him which made me think of summer vacation. Which seems to fit a "wish you were here" or a "missing you" greeting quite nicely.

 

Here is just the background:

 

I made good use of my old Sizzix dies (wave, sand/snow, and rocks). The embossed background was sponged with a little sky blue ink (it actually is a little darker than it shows in the photo).

 

Supplies used:

Cardstock: Bazzill

Stamp: So Many Sayings - SU

Embossing folder: Clouds - Darice (could use the SU one as well)

Dies: Old Sizzix (from the red machine) Wave, snow, rocks

Ink: for the sky  Colorbox Sky Blue, the rest are SU: Crumb Cake, Bermuda Bay, Tempting Turquoise and Basic Gray.

Misc.: foam mounting squares to attach the walrus and greeting (banners are hand cut)
