Welcome to Create with Stamping Friends Creatively Simple Challenge! Each month Debbie and I will pick a theme for our simple cards. It’s a last Monday of the month and our last July theme of “Summer”. Cards that represent the warmer temps and longer days…at least here in Ohio!
BESIDE ME
I hadn’t used this set yet, although I did earn it during Sale-A-Bration this year! I love the greetings in it, but also this image of the family fishing! My husband (grandpa) just bought a new fishing pole for the grandkids to use. They have gone a couple times to the catch and release pond by our house! Our grandson, Brody, caught a nice size bass!
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of checked Perennial Lavender 12×12 Designer Paper was added on top.
- The 3-1/4 x 4-1/4 Basic White cardstock was colored with Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Lemon Lolly Inks in the background using the Blending Brushes.
