"By the Shore" is another wonderful stamp set that I love!
Can you tell I'm itching for beach weather and time in the sun?! I am.....desperately!! :-)

This design called for summer colors......Tangerine Tango and Crumb Cake were my go to this time.

Love the shell assortment with this stamp set!!

Hoping you feel the sun shining, from this card, on you! :-) Have a great day!!

In need of a guy card? Well, Father's Day and many male Birthdays are coming up in my family over the next couple of months, so I need to get busier than this one card design! :-)

Yes, I'm still crazy about the "By the Tide" stamp set, so I'm still designing cards using it!

This one is much simpler in design......the background was done by masking everything but a strip of the card front and brayering three different colors in varying shades from light to dark. Then keep your masking on and stamp the fish in your darkest color you used in the brayering.

The easiest way I find to color is to stamp the image, dauber on color, highlight with other colors using a blender pen, and then finally cut it out. :-)

Hope you enjoy!!

I don't know about you all, but our weather here has been freakish lately! We'll have an 80 degree day, then snow 2 days later, then 70's to 80's for a week and then in drops down into the 50's again!

Come on now......I'm ready for a REAL, consistent Spring into Summer!

'Just Bloom' is inspired by my desire for warmth and sunshine on a regular basis! No more 30's-40's at night, thank you. :-)

Had fun making this flower with an oldy but goody method and the wonderful "Blossom" punch. LOVE working with Crumb Cake, in case you haven't picked up on that yet. :-)

Hope you enjoy!
