HMFMC # 124 Summer Holidays

Well here I am again with the honor of being a guest designer for the second time this month.  So much fun!!


For today's card I went with an image and a sentiment from the "Summer Drinks" clear stamp set.  My background paper is craft card stock and I stamped images from that same set and embossed them with Detail White embossing powder.  I  colored the image with Copics and cut it out with a SB Labels Nine die.  While it was still in the die I traced around the inside edge with a gold uni-ball pen and then sponged with SU's Bashful Blue ink. The sentiment was stamped on a SB Grommet Tag and accented with SU pink ribbon and brads.   I thought some little silver dots would add to the scene and also go with the little Fish charms that I won from a HM challenge back in December.  Aren't they cute?  I'm actually traveling back home today so I have pre-scheduled this post and I hope it appears when it is suppose to.  Have a great fun-filled day today.  Thank you for stopping by.

  3. oh, how cute! I love those umbrellas stamped in the background, and those zig-zag edges on the yellow panel! The mice are having a cool break from this summer heat, and the fish charms are so cute! Have a safe trip back home and I hope you can find some time to relax and craft when you get back home.
