Hello,
Well, I'm finally feeling better, just a little lingering cough left. The best part is my energy has returned so I spent more time creating today instead of sitting around a reading.
I wanted to get a card made for the current Color Hues challenge, where Marcia has a summery color duo of blue and yellow. I pulled out some Spellbinders stencils and sentiments and combined them with some Lawn Fawn dies to make this "looking forward to summer" card.
After putting the pool over the stenciled background, I thought the card needed a little something, so I added the silhouette palm trees, which led to the heat embossed sentiment on black.
For the inside of the card, I used the same beach ball stencil and another summer sentiment.
I hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Colleen

There's so many summery vibes emanating from this card Colleen, those beach balls and the pool are such fun elements. Glad to hear you're feeling better, my OH and I have had a stinker of a cold for nearly a week so can sympathise with the I think I feel better then, oh hang on I feel rough again seesaw. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues. :)

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Colleen. I love how you did the pool and carried the design to the inside of the card as well. I just used those fabulous beach ball stencils a few weeks ago and I love them in blue and yellow. Thanks for joining us at Color Hues and happy to hear you are feeling better. Take care!
