Hi blogging friend! I hope you had a beautiful first day of summer. Summer came on strong here with temperatures in the upper 90s, so I stayed inside and made cards.
I almost didn’t get this card ready in time for the Inspired by Stamping challenge, but thank goodness I am getting it submitted just in time. I love the inspiration photo with its fresh, clean beach scene so I wanted to keep this card fresh and clean too.
I love the beach so this was a lot of fun for me. I love all the blues and greens that you see at the beach and tried to include various shades of blue and green on this card. The stamp along the bottom is actually a bamboo stamp but I used just part of it to try to make it more like sea grass.
This is another card for the Operation Write Home Duty.Honor.Cards. card drive. I am trying to push and get as many cards made as I possibly can before the deadline, so I’ll have a lot of cards to share this week!
A Recollections flourish was used behind the butterfly and below the sentiment.
THIS CARD QUALIFIES FOR:
Inspired By Stamping IBSIC13 and here is the inspiration photo
I also made this card for:
