Sisterhood Summer Heat ...

Today there's a new challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters

and Vickie has asked us to create with the theme

SUMMER HEAT

(hot colors or summer theme)

I guess you could say I combined both ideas on my card.

I began with the HOT COLORS idea but as time went on

it became more of a summertime ocean scene

and since I had this fabulous 'Inspired by Stamping'

sentiment stamp, my card quickly turned into a card of encouragement.

And, I'm okay with that!

The sky background paper is from a VERY OLD DCWV 12x12 pack

as is the water paper which I've 'torn' to create waves and depth.

The sky & water paper was so similar in color that

I decided to sponge a bit of TH 'Picked Raspberry' distress

ink over the white clouds and it worked perfectly!

Please be sure to pop over to see the amazing creation my sisters

have created for you today!  And then, come join in the fun!
