CIE Summer/Hot Colors

Hi, everyone!

It's a Cards in Envy Monday. Our challenge for the next couple of weeks is "It's a Heat Wave". Sounded like the perfect excuse to ink up one of my favorite Lawn Fawn critters and make a beach-themed birthday card for a good friend.  :)

Recollections red, black, and white cardstock
Lawn Fawn life is good images, stamped in StazOn jet black and traced with a generic black pen
images colored in Distress Inks using Ranger mister, Ranger waterbrush, and stash paintbrush:
water and flip flop inks: tumbled glass, broken china, and peacock feathers
sand and tree trunk inks: antique linen and vintage photo
sky, balloon, and circle background inks: mustard seed and spiced marmalade
tree top and flip flop straps: bundled sage, peeled paint, and mowed lawn
stash vellum quote sentiments, stash sequins
Marvy and Paper Shaper circle punches
adhesives: Scotch ATG; Ranger multi medium matte

Hope you'll join us over at CIE. It's a cards only challenge, and cards should be flat enough to fit slide into envelopes.

Parting Thoughts

A Just Keep Swimming Challenge posted at Words 2 Craft By last Wednesday. Annie's our hostess this month and is offering up a gift certificate to our challenge winner. Maybe your CIE card fits for our W2CB challenge, too... :)

I really enjoyed the chance to play with embossing powders this weekend -- trying out some of the Heat Wave Online Card Classes ideas and techniques. (Don't you just love OCC?! Jennifer and Kristina are just the best!)

Have a great week! Hope to see you over at CIE and W2CB. Until then, thanks for stopping and happy scrappin'!
