I created a summer themed birthday card using the Peek a Boo Summer Pals, another peek a boo set in the Avery Elle series. I love those sets.



For the background I ink blended some pink Distress Oxide Inks together: Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and Abandoned Coral. When it was dry, I added a layer of Yeti Ink on top, using the Rays Stencil from Tim Holtz. 



I die cut a piece of cardstock with the Stitched Simple Wavy Borders. I ink blended this with Broken China and Blueprint Sketch Oxide Ink.



I stamped the images and colored them with Copic Markers. Here are all the colors I used:
Floatie: B24 - B26/ RV10 - R81 - R83
Shark: W0 - W3/ E000 - E00
Flamingo: RV10 - R81 - R83/ W0 - W3/ W5 - W7
Dolphin: W0 - W3
Seahorse: Y15 - Y17/ BG53 - BG57
Seagull: W0 - W3 / W5 - W7/ Y15 - Y17





I fussy cut the images and assembled the card. The sentiment was stamped onto a strip of Fog cardstock.

THANKS (8)

When coming up with new themes for the Lawn Fawnatics blog, all of us sent in theme dies. And today my suggestion has gone live: Create a project using only dies. And I made this card using the Strawberry Patch die set. 



For the background, I used a piece of Spiffy Speckles pattern paper. All the strawberry elements were die cut from Watercolor Wishes patter paper. Something I never did before, because I usually use solid cardstock for this. Only for the backing behind the strawberries I used Storm Cloud cardstock

I assembled the strawberries and the little branches and added them to the Spiffy Speckles background. 



I used Henry's ABCs dies to die cut the word 'thanks' from Narwhal cardstock. I added them to the card as well. 

It's a very clean, simple and quick card to make.
