I am a teacher on summer break, and I am filled with gratitude for that! It has been a long, hard year of teaching during a pandemic and all of the challenges associated with that, and I am doing the happy dance in a big way. This card is a celebration of all things Summer - beach, BBQ, ice cream, fireworks, time to craft, etc.
To create my card, I used A Colorful Life Designs Sun and Surf Stencil with distress Oxide Inks, and the Hello Summer die set from Neat & Tangled (retired) with a vellum background. The word is stacked three times with white card stock, and the top die cut in done with mirror black card stock. It shines beautifully and really stands out.
The inside is stamped with a sentiment from Neat & Tangled Hello Summer Stamp Set (retired) and reads:
WARM OCEAN BREEZE
SUNSHINE
FIREFLIES & FIREWORKS
ICE CREAM CONES
BARBEQUES & BEACH DAYS
FLIP FLOPS AND FUN TIMES
I'm playing at:
Beach, Stencil, Yellow.
