Four Seasons Challenge - Summer

 

Hello Friends

Over at the Four Seasons Challenge Blog, we are ready for a change in seasons! 
For the next 3 months our theme will be

Anything Goes - SUMMER

check out this fabulous inspiration board Diane has created to help inspire you . . .

 

• The bases for today's card began with a 6x6 panel from the beautiful Mintay 'Graceful' paper pad.  I then decided to create a frame using the Paper Rose (#16679) Stitched Rectangle die set which I cut from a Craft Consortium 'Ink Drops - Candy' 6x6 paper panel.
  
  
• I then began using up a few scraps for my embellishments.  I've had several Heartfelt Creations flowers die cut from a past convention show where I was doing a demo of their products so when I need a couple quick flowers I simply grab a couple, sponge ink the color desired and do a bit of shaping ... Viola.   
  
  
• I had a scrap of another panel from the same Mintay paper pad and it matched the color in the image so I decided to die cut a couple ivy branches to use with my flowers.  A touch of Nuvo for the flower centers and that corner embellishment is complete.
  
  
•  Awhile back I had die cut (in several different colors) the sentiments from the Pink Fresh 'Perfect Sentiments' stamp & die set so I'd have them readily available so that's where I went for today's sentiment panel.
