Hey peeps! Happy Sunday! Laurie is our hostess over at the Paper Players today with a super-fun challenge for us! I am sure you can round up some images to play with us this week:
My summery stamps are more beach-related, but I did remember this cool surfer silhouette from SU a few years back, so I inked him up in a new In Color, Pretty Peacock, to create my square card today:
It's pretty CAS, which I am grateful for, as I seem to have gotten behind in sending out my July birthday cards, so this one is perfect for a young man in our church whose birthday was yesterday! Ooops! Luckily, the FMS sketch was perfect for it:
I added some "splashes" from Gorgeous Grunge; added a Pool Party scallop and a panel of Pretty Peacock that was embossed with the Seaside embossing folder. I added a couple of words, lightly stamped in Pool Party, from an older Impression Obsession set called Imagine Words:
While I never surfed when I was a kid, I was a pretty good skimboarder....now I would be sure to break an arm, leg or other body part if I tried skimboarding, LOL! But I do have fond memories of gliding along the sand on my orange skimboard!
While Cassidy is enjoying her vacation with daddy, I thought I'd share a flashback from July 2013 of her summer splash...she's giving her doll a bath, LOL! I remember those days too!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
That's a fantastic masculine card, and I really like the spatters and colors! Love the flashback pic of Cassidy - how cute :)
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, your card is refreshing! I love the color combo, the embossed waves and surfer! I never got to try that, but I am certain I would have loved it in my younger days. Being land locked in Indiana didn't give us these opportunities! LOL! Like you, that is out of the question now. I can dream though!
ReplyDeleteLove this flashback of Cassidy and her doll! Precious Memories!
Have a great week, My Friend! XX
I'm smiling about everything you've got going there. The colors, the image, the message. Great card!
ReplyDeletePool Party paired with Pretty Peacock? Yes, please! Love those colors together and they are perfect for your cool surfer dude. Such a fun card! I love the flashback photo of Cassidy, too. Wow, has she grown! I hope she is having a great vacation. Enjoy your day today! Big hugs!
ReplyDeleteSurfing is awesome for a water sport themed card, LeAnne! I love the layout. Dream and Inspire are perfect sentiments. What a great memory of Cassidy! Love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the surfer and the blues shades. Great job with the sketch, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is perfect for this week's challenge and the sketch! Ahhh, how sweet is she. Gosh they sure grow up fast!
ReplyDeleteI love how this looks all dressed in blue! I'm pretty sure I can hear those waves! What a fun card!
ReplyDeleteSurf’s up! Cute card!
ReplyDeleteLove your dude surfing...so perfect for the challenge! Cute flashback photo too!
ReplyDeleteLove that bold surfer combined with the large words and fun embossed wave background. If only I was fit enough to hop on a board like that!! A great watersports card LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteLove the flashback of Cassidy... my, how she has grown! I love your card, too. I love the scallops and the texture and the monochromatic colors. A fabulous, masculine card and a great use of the sketch.
