Good morning, blogging friends! Having a real tough time keeping cool these days. I figured I would do an early post, before I head off to my steamy work. I have had a great time this week, playing with the July Kit of the Month, from Unity. It is full of wonderful summertime stamps! Here are my
Friends with Flair offerings for this week.
Look at these beachy keen stamps! This card was created with kraft, white and pistachio pudding card stocks. There are Spellbinders dies, and inks in pistachio pudding from SU!, and toffee crunch from Memento. I used Glossy Accents on the seahorse, and added a few bronze pearls for embellishments.
I would also like to enter this first card over at
Simon Says Stamp Challenge, which is By The Sea.
Card 2 is a monochromatic card using a vintage theme. My papers are from DCWV, and this wonderful bike stamp is inked in old olive from SU!. I used some piercing, and an MS punch to create a border. There are pearls and a Prima flower to finish this one off.
Here we have card 3. It uses the flower stamps from the KOM, and I can tell you now, I will be grabbing these flower pieces over and over. They were colored with Copic markers. I used paper from my scrap bin, and some washi tape to segment the card. There are some bright buttons and an MS butterfly punch, as an accent.
Okay, that's it for me. I will be around to visit everyone before the weekend comes to a close. If you are in this heat wave, be sure to check on a neighbor or loved one who may need help. It is so important for us to care for each other. End of lecture.....
