Let’s check out some handmade beach cards in our last May Flashback Friday!
We can’t believe it’s already almost the end of the month! And we don’t know about you, but with all the fun summer cards we’ve seen all month, we are SO ready for it to kick off.

And then there’s this spectacular tropical beach scene with its two gorgeously dimensional floral accents. This is one of those cards that gets set on a shelf to be displayed forever!
Tropical Beach Card with Color Fuse Inks
I had so much fun making this colorful tropical beach card. I created the beach scene background and colored all the tropical foliage and flowers using Color Fuse Inks by Rubbernecker. The inks are so easy to work with and blend beautifully using blender brushes and applicators. I love the large exaggerated foliage and flowers in the foreground with the ocean in the background. For this card I used the Rubbernecker Leaf Set, Sea Grass, Mixed Flower Stack, Birds,
