It’s Monday! Are you ready to start another week? Summer Monday’s just seem to have a different vibe. So I’m starting the week off with a cute and fun summer themed card…
You may not recognize this cute little bathing beauty and her fun, flamingo float. This is a stamp and die set from Neat & Tangled stamp company which is no longer in business. I have quite a few of N & T’s stamps and dies and still enjoy using them. My stamping friends and I used to enjoy attending in-person classes with Danielle, N & T’s owner. They were fairly close to all of us who lived in MD, DE and PA. So it was always a treat to get together to learn a new technique, stamp and shop. And of course grab a bite to eat!
I colored everything with Stampin’ Blends & Copic markers except for her bathing suite and the flamingo. For these, I paper pieced using some retired SU DSP. Both just needed some cute patterns.
The sentiment on the front is also from the same stamp set. However, the inside sentiment and float is from Sunny Studio: Beach Buddies stamp & die set. I used SU’s Stitched with Whimsy dies to create the wonky borders.
I’m a just a player this week at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge…
I chose to go with the first column down: Friendship, Any Color, Any Die Shape. But I could also go with the second row across: Any Color, Free, Sentiment.
I hope you have a wonderful week ahead.
Take care,
That card is just darling!!! ALWAYS LOVE your work. You are very talented.
I watch several Demo’s as I get ideas. I love to create and make them my own.
Keep up the great work. XX
