I searched a couple of stamp boxes for a quote, finding one in a retired Technique Tuesday set by Ali Edwards (c2011). The July 2024 Hero Arts Studio card kit had the perfect images to use with the quote. I was also thinking of Darnell's (djkardkreations) IDEAS program - this week I = Ink. I did some basic ink blending with Distress Inks on a piece of Neenah, then added the stamping. Quick & easy. Final steps were to die cut my panel and add to an A2 card - done!
I'll add my card to Darnell's August NBUS Challenge #65 too since my stamps got first play today. *Update - will also add my card to the current Time Out Challenge #269 (a trip to the beach screams Summer to me) with Kate's (Cards a la Kate) reminder. Funny because friend Greta (GG Creations) is on the DT so you'd think I'd play there more often & another friend Betty (created by bjk) is guest designer this month. Oh well, I have trouble keeping track of which challenge is doing what theme... Thanks for the inspiration on those challenges too!!
Thanks for stopping & happy crafting!!
Your focal sentiment is lovely and your scene is amazing Linda! It would be perfect for the current challenge at Time Out Challenges and we'd love to see you in our gallery! Hugs, Kate!
ReplyDeleteI like the scene you've created for that sentiment! Terrific card, Linda!

Beautiful card and love the sentiment - perfect for me as I live in Cornwall with plenty of sea and wild air - although not so much sunshine but then can't have everything:-) Thank you for joining us at We Love Stamping and using this months theme. Emmax
ReplyDeletesuch a gorgeous scene to highlight an awesome sentiment.

ReplyDeleteHi Linda, I am very late to this one as it was posted while I was away with the grandkids. I am now reviewing the WLS gallery to think about my top picks and clicked on this image. How lovely that you have given me a shout out. Your beach scene is so lovely and the quote is perfect. I am glad I made it hear in the end xx
