Hi, Stampers!
As I have been tidying up my garden, I have been dreaming about Summer. I especially was thinking about the flowers that will grow soon (hopefully). Then I remembered the Summer Silhouette stamp set sitting on my shelf looking lonely. This one’s been around awhile, but I just love it. I dusted it off and used for the TGIFc Challenge. Here’s my finished card:
Here’s the Challenge Bibi Cameron made that inspired my card:
All those strips at the bottoms had me scratching my head. Instead of finding papers or ribbons for them, I decided to ink strips instead. I used Lost Lagoon, Pool Party and Soft Sky for my strips. I repeated the Pool Party along with Sahara Sand when I stamped the flowers. For embellishments, I used some White Metallic Tape I had leftover from Sale-A-Bration and some Pool Party ribbon. The sentiment is from February’s Paper Pumpkin. I embossed it in white. Everything is on a Pool Party Cardstock base. This card didn’t come together easily, but I think it was worth the struggle.
If you have this set, dig it out and show me what you come up with!
Happy stamping!
Robin
This card is beautiful. How did you do the ink strips?
Thank you so much! I masked the strips every 3/4 inches with a 1/4 inch of white in between. It took me a couple of tries.
