‘Dreaming of Summer’
I hope that where ever you are in the world that the sun is shining.
Up North you have Summer
and down here ~ well, Summer is on our minds…
At FSC we thought that where ever you are, you might like to join us in celebrating Summer ~ the heat, holidays, chips at the beach, long lazy days, beach walks, swimming…and a nice cold beer maybe.
The stamping must be the focal point of your creation…and follow the theme and you are win with a chance of winning!
Because I live near the sea…Summer means lazy days at the beach.
So I have made a card this time around that reflects the carefree
fun of a day at the beach.
The background is made with Archival re-inkers and DI’s,
and a little stamping.
The main panel was fun too…I used re-inkers and a straw!
I would’ve loved one of the new air things from Tim Holtz, but I haven’t got one – yet.
The main image is from Crafty Individuals.
I hope that you see the fun of Summer in this.
The girls at FSC have come up with some inspiring and very different versions on the theme this time.
Please pop on over and check out the awesomeness of the fashionettes,
be inspired and maybe join in the fun.
Flonzcraft are our sponsors this fortnight and have a generous $20 gift voucher up for grabs,
there are spotlights and a top 3 as well.
p.s. I hope the sun is shining in your part of the world!
Enjoy!
