End of Summer

I don't know about you, but up here in Maryland it is beginning to feel like summer is almost over.  There is a crisp feeling in the air and the humidity isn't as high.  Saturday I spent a little time down in my craft room before I did my chores.  I created this card as a ode to the last days of summer.

 

I knew I wanted to use the Sea Side Treasures ( SS-0071) set, but wasn't sure about the background.  I decided I wanted a ombre effect, so I pulled out a new set that is quickly becoming one of my go to favorites,  the Brush Strokes, (SS-0205) set.

 

 

I chose Banana Cream, Oatmeal Cookie, Blue Lagoon, and Pool Play ink pads to stamp the back ground with.  After looking at it for a while, I thought it needed something else.

 

 

 

So I pulled out my Hazelnut Blend Re-inker and the new Fusion Blender, dropped a few drops on a block and flicked some dots on my background.  I think it was just what the card needed to make it pop.

Hope you enjoyed today's post and if you are interested in purchasing any of the products I used,  you can find them at  www.funstampersjourney/cindybristow.

 

Have a Creative Day!
