We have a Bank Holiday in the UK today (and tomorrow for the Diamond Jubilee!) so I have extra time to get creative {grin!}. I combined the colours from the Create with Connie & Mary challenge with this week's Unscripted sketch and added the 'Summer' theme from The Paper Players challenge...
When I think of Summer I think about the small of freshly-cut grass and flowers on a warm day - I wanted to capture that idea so I pulled out the Just Believe stamp set and worked with that.
I needed a 'Get well' card so used the sentiment from Hopeful Thoughts, punched out with the modern label punch and layered on a sizzlit die-cut. The papers are from the Berry Blossoms dsp (retired now...).
Here's the recipe:
Stamps: Just Believe, Hopeful Thoughts
Ink: Chocolate Chip, SU markers
Paper: Berry Blossoms dsp, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade
Tools: modern label punch, Sizzlits Lots of Tags die, corner rounder punch, scallop trim border punch
Accessories: Chocolate Chip satin ribbon
Thanks for stopping by!
