None the less, this week's challenge at Card Crafter's Circle (http://cardcrafterscircle.blogspot.com/) is summer holidays, and our wonderful sponsor, the uber-fabulous... Bugaboo Stamps, has provided us with some darling, mostly water related images with which to work. Not only that, but they are offering our randomly picked winner SEVEN adorable images of their choice. How cool is that?
Starting with a yellow card base, I cut a layer of bright green, then a layer of patterned paper (DCWV). At the bottom, I layered a bit of torn tan to look like sand, and then I cut the waves from another piece of the DCWV paper. I used green baker's twine around the sand strip and added sea shells in the lower right corner. To finish off, I added two small yellow buttons at the top and the sentiment "Have a sun shiney day" along the side of the image. Both the image and the sentiment were matted on the green.
I do hope you will stop by the CCC blog site and have a look at the sample cards my teamies have made to inspire you for this challenge. They have really shown their creativity and their humour this week. You will definitely enjoy what you see!
I'd like to enter this card in the following challenges:

What perfect papers for a summer holiday card! Love it!
ReplyDeleteJenee, you colouring and the lovely beach you've created are wonderful! Makes me want to go barefoot!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you about not particularly caring for sandy beach holidays, and the mountains sound wonderful to me, but you just may have won me over with this fabby creation....and I still say she has a look of you...haaa!

Jenee, you make me smile! This card is adorable! I too, am not a beach babe, but not a mountain person either, just give me Archivers work room daily and I'd be in heaven.. Unlimited spending wouldn't hurt either. Lol
