The Card Concept: Summertime Fun

 

Hello Crafting friends! It's June 21st, and that means the first day of summer.

The Card Concept has a new challenge, and it's Summertime Fun.

Our photo inspiration has several summer/ocean/sea items for you to

get your crafting juices flowing, as well as color swatches. What is your

favorite? And what style will your card be? 

I would definitely call mine Layered, but clean? Maybe more Mixed Media/Layered.

I used several Lindy's Starburst sprays for a mixed colored sand effect. And 

watercolored the panel of waves.

Hope you're inspired to play along. Pick a theme and be sure to add our photo

to your blog. Thanks for the visit, and hope your summer goes swimmingly!

Happy Summer!

With summer in full bloom, and with some summery die cuts from Marybeth Lopez's

fun summer kit, (do you follow 12 Kits of Occasions? Here's a link:

Summer and More - July 2018), thought I'd 

do another summer card and play along with Stephanie. She's

our hostess for this week's MIM, 'Creating Mixed Background Texture'

Pretty much stayed with Stephanie's layout, stamped images on top, die cut texture on bottom,

and die cuts going up the side with sentiment tag tucked in. 

Hope your summer's going well, and you're surviving the heat. We are looking forward

to cooler days and autumn breezes. Ahhhh, can't wait! But for now 100+ every day...

Great excuse to stay inside and craft! 

Isn't pink just the cutest color for a surfboard?

Love Mondays when Danielle shares...

This week it's Two-Toned Stamped Sentiments.

Just so simply stunning a technique, she uses a cover plate, white embossing,

and stamps beneath with the card stock color.

Our oldest son lives at the beach, and I wanted to keep with a 'watery' theme

for his card.
