Valentine's Beach Picnic!


Nothing is sweeter than a stroll on the beach and sharing a beautiful picnic in the sand with the one you love. Add some champagne, amazing pastries, plush pillows and some romantic details and you have yourself a chic and fun Valentine’s picnic brunch with your Honey!

I had a fabulous time teaming up with lovely and talented photographer Maggie Marsek, and here is what we created together! We could not have asked for a more gorgeous day on the beach....


You can emboss fruit!!!


We wanted to portray a fresh, cool, SoCal vibe with lots of loving details. The cliffs, warm sand and gorgeous water provide the always ahhhh-mazing backdrop, so that meant keep the details simple but add a punch of pinks, crystal and white.

  3. Thank you!!! I found larger fruit works better, more stamping surface area! Use a rubber stamp of your choice, stamp fruit with a translucent ink pad, sprinkle with embossing powder (shimmy off the extra powder so the image remains) and zap with an embossing heat tool until image is set!
