Hi there! Happy Tuesday to you! I'm still having struggles with Blogger, so if I haven't stopped by to say hello to you on your blog, I will REALLY soon....I hope! Well, summer is in full swing out there and this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments, we are having a theme challenge, with a very "sunny disposition".
I added some Dazzling Diamonds glitter to all of the images along with layering them on Scalloped Circle punches. That punch looks pretty "sunny" to me, so I thought it went with the theme. I dressed up the scallops with the Signo Uni-Ball White Gel Pen. This pen is an absolute "must-have". It's a quick way to add some detail to your projects. I highly recommend it!
Then there is that bit o' bling that I added. *sigh* I love my bling! Although that row of sparkle MAY have been a bit much. Haha! Oh well, it's stuck down and I like it...so it's staying.
Finally, here is the inside of the card! After adding all of that sunny sparkle, the shades were a necessity. I thought this card would be fun for a "Bon Voyage" card for some lucky-duck who is going on a tropical vacation. Hmmm! ;)
I hope you will join us this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments and share your sunny-style! Please stop by and visit to see what the rest of the lovely ladies on the Design Team have whipped up, too. Thanks for visiting today! Stay cool out there! :)

ReplyDeleteAnne Marie,
ReplyDeleteSuper cute card! I love the images in the punched suns. So creative! You always think up of great color combos.
This is too cute as well. The glitter adds a great finishing touch and the colors remind me so much of summer.
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about your blogger woes....
ReplyDeleteWhen you sign in, try unchecking the box that says something like "Stay signed in". That took care of most of the problems for me. I did move to Google Chrome as a browser in the end because it is created by google (so is blogger) so I thought they would make sure they were compatible.
I hope you are staying cool!
Love the softer colors for summer. Nice to see them compared to the bright ones. Love the design of your card!
