The Paper Nest Dolls - Shaped Cards

It's the start of a new week and for me a new team! I have been making cards with the super cute Paper Nest Dolls for a while and so it is wonderful to be a part of the team.
The new challenge is "Shaped Cards" and you can see all the fabulous samples at the Paper Nest Dolls Challenge!
I thought I'd squeeze in another Summer card and Boogie Boy Owen was the perfect guy for the job!

Challenges:
Crafting By Design - Anything Goes
Creative Corner - Anything Goes (3 entries only)
Color Me Creative - Anything Goes (3 entries only)
Auds Sentiments - Anything But a Birthday Card
Glitter N Sparkle - Anything But a Square
Crafter Cafe - At the Beach
Digi Haven - The Sea
Crafts 4 Eternity - Summer Sun (3 entries only)
Heck of a Challenge - Summer Holidays
Pumpkin Spice - Colored Image


Card Recipe:
Image - Boogie Boy Owen
Medium - Copic Markers
Sentiments - The Paper Studio
Paper - Fly a Kite and Away We Go by My Minds Eye
Die Cut (for base) - Lifestyle Crafts
Brads - The Paper Studio
Palm Tree - Provo Craft
Embossing Powder (as sand) - Mix'd Media in Honey by Color Box


This is the fabulous prize for the winner!





I used a large Lifestyle Crafts die to make the card base, I hardly ever make non square cards so this was a challenge for me. I added some Honey colored embossing powder to the area around Owens feet to look like sand, but I used glue instead of embossing ink and let it air dry instead of using the heat gun (it would have melted the crystals and that wasn't the look I was looking for) and I think it worked out really well.
I hope you liked this and will give a shaped card a go soon and come back and share at the Paper Nest Dolls Challenge!
