Happy Saturday, peeps! I’ve got a busy couple of days coming up, so if I seem MIA, I’ll be back, LOL! I don’t think I ever participated in Lesley’s Fusion Card challenge….or at least, not for a long time. She has a beautiful challenge and sketch:
I chose to use the colors of yellow and blue, and the beach theme is reflected in the shell:
I did a little experimenting and tried stamping on a piece of natural trim…it worked pretty well! I also used a punchout of sandcastles and pails, although it’s a bit difficult to see here:
The shell is retired Stipple Shells, stamped in Bordering BLue; sentiment is from the current And Many More set, stamped in Early Espresso. I also added some speckles from Itty Bitty Backgrounds, also retired. Papers are from my stash, sorry I can’t remember the maker! Edited to add: I am also adding this to the Mixed Media Card Challenge, which is summer and burlap!
How about some pix from my garden:
I couldn’t help thinking the two bees on this sunflower created a face!
And finally, a battle between a hummer and a bee, fighting for rights to the hummingbird feeder:
Sweet card, like how you stamped on the ribbon too. I so enjoy your nature pictures. I had all of that wonderful wildlife, birds, flowers when I lived "up north". Now in FL not much here - too HOT.
