Hello Dear Friends!
Oh how I wish I were on a beach right now! LOL
Both of my sisters have June birthdays (and they are both hairdressers) but my older sister splits her time between her job/home here in Ohio and her other home in Florida. I'm sure one of these days she will decide to 'hang up her hair dryer' and stay in her beautiful FL home full time but for now she seems to be okay with flying back & forth. So this card was created with her in mind.
I had a little creative fun with this one!
As you can see, I cut a portion of the front cover from my card base ... then I turned it and used it to hide my inside sentiment. A few Tim Holtz distress oxide inks and dies were used to create my front card panel.
AND, as you may have noticed, the sentiment I used on the front is the same as the one being offered as our prize this time around. NO! I did NOT use the prize die then put it back in the package! LOL I have had my own for quite awhile now and have enjoyed having it in my stash so thought who ever wins the challenge might have some fun with one too.
Product used:
Impression Obsession - Life is Better at the Beach die (#689)
Impression Obsession - Shore Birds (187)
Memory Box Seaside Treasures (99107)
The inside sentiment stamps are both by Inkadinkado.
The prize that you'll be playing for this time around is:
