Blogger Challenge: Week 213

This week’s blogger challenge theme is summertime. I used one of my favorite summertime sets, Chillaxin from Market Street Stamps, for this summery scene.

I used a small dot embossed panel as the backdrop for the scene. I added a piece of torn kraft paper, inked with a little cream pigment ink, as the sand and added the set’s palm tree and flip flop images using foam tape. A button sun completes the scene.

I used warm colors to complete the card. A yellow dotted pattern covers most of the blue card base with a strip of the plaid paper from the backside of the paper running across the card. I layered a piece of orange grosgrain ribbon across the plaid and stamped the “chillaxin” sentiment directly on the ribbon in black ink.
