I love crafting, especially rubber stamping. Most weekends I can be found surrounded by paper, rubber stamps and ink.

Backyard Summer Fun

 Happy Hump Day folks,

I'm still working through all of my logins to update them to my new email. What a chore! I think I'm almost to the end now, thankfully.

I took a break from that last night and made my card for Claire's theme challenge for the Paper Players.  The theme is Summer Fun. As with most of us, I have many stamps that would work. Because I think the sentiment for this Avery Elle mini set is so perfect, I decided on it. If you go to the beach, it's spot on!

To make this backyard pool scene, I combined the stamp set with some Lawn Fawn and MFT dies. The background cobblestone stencil is from GKD and the pool water is done by ink blending a couple shades of blue ink on white card stock, then running it through a Spellbinders embossing folder.






Avery Elle has a few stamp sets with the same critters and I used one for the inside of my card. Looks like the bunny is off to do some surfing for more Summer Fun.




Have a great rest of the week and thanks for looking in,
Colleen

  1. Colleen, this is the perfect way to spend a summer day. I love that unicorn float. That bunny is working hard at staying cool. The cobblestones and the pool water are fantastic! SO happy you joined my challenge at The Paper Players this week!

  2. Colleen... I laughed out loud with that adorable sentiment. Bunny has the right idea this summer... floating in the pool is where I would like to be right now!

  3. Thanks for the laugh, Colleen! That sentiment is the best and goes so well with Ms. Bunny sunning her buns on her floaty lol! The whole scene is fabulous and like Elizabeth, I would gladly be floating in a pool today. Thanks so much for joining us at The Paper Players this week!
