Ah, summer. Doesn’t this card just shout “SUMMER!”? Here in Colorado summer is almost over. In many school districts around school begins this week or next week! Yikes! But for many of us who don’t have school age kids summer continues until Labor Day unless you’re following the calendar and then it actually goes until September 22nd.
What are you doing your last days of summer? It’s been SO hot here tis summer, it’s crazy. If I lived on a lake and had a sailboat this is definitely what I’d want to be doing. Out on the cool water with a nice breeze. Ah, I can just imagine it now.
I joined this Facebook group where I design a card and upload the card and a set of instructions for it to group. Then anyone in the group can use the card/directions for their classes, send out to customers or whatever they’d like. There is a theme every month and this month the theme was Seasons so I chose summer and came up with this design.
I used the Lilypad Lake stamp set . I think it was new in last year’s Annual Catalog. I love the images and the sentiments are beautiful. Of course the coordinating dies make it even better! 😀
I started the design with the wavy/watery image and decided to use it as a background. I chose the new Seaside Spray for the color….it’s one of my new favorites!
Once I had the background done I stamped, colored and die cut my sailboats. After that I just played around until I got the look I liked and ta da!…..my card was done!
I hope this card makes you think of summer. Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your summer! Take care and Happy Stamping!
