Let's Interject Some Summer Shall We?

Good morning to you! If you are here for the Cards for Kids Blog hop/blog candy be sure to click HERE! : )

I have a summery card to share with you today. I know it is only January, but I have to be honest......I am already tired of winter! I am tired of the cold, tired of bundling everyone up before heading out the door. Tired of the short days.  I am longing for warmth and sunshine.....so I tried to "bottle" it up in a card! : )   I used JustRite's Sea Shell Bay set. I was going for cool water inspired colors for my card. I stamped the image in shades of green and blue using several ColorBox inks.  I sprinkled it with clear embossing powder.  This set coordinates with Spellbinder's Labels Twenty-Two die.  I used it for the image as well as for the burlap behind it.  I wanted to bring it a bit of "rustic-ness" to the card.

I wanted to create a little grouping in the corner so I stamped some of the shells from the set in brown and gave them a bit of color with my Copic markers.  I also added a bit of real sand to the edges and added a pearl to the center of the one shell.  I added tulle, a few acrylic pieces from Prima and a bit of "rope" from SU!

My son has an eye doctor appt. tonight.  He has been complaining of numerous headaches.  I am thinking it is probably his need for glasses!  So we will have to see what the doc says tonight.  And I got his grades for his first semester in high school.  He made honor roll!  I am so proud of him!

Off to work I go!....... Have a great day!  : D
