This image reminds me of lazy days watching the world go by,although the colour challenge I have followed over at CAS Colours & Sketches #17 feels distinctly of autumn or even christmas! This would actually make a nice christmas card I think as well despite the set being named summer afternoon, just shows the versatility of the stamps ;)
I've used real red (108612) & river rock (111852) cardstock including some of the core'dinations cardstock (129320 £6.25 for 12 x 12"x12" sheets) which is a heavyweight sandable cardstock with a vintage, distressed look when embossed, torn & sanded to create a lighter effect.
The ribbon is the gorgeous real red stitched grosgrain (126875 £4.50 9.1m) and the paper strips are from the polka dot parade designer series paper (126902 £9.95).
The stamped image and layer is cut using the labels collection framelits - I find these invaluable to card making. I've used my scallop edge border punch (119882 £14.25) and a sentiment from the For my family set (124403 (w) £31.95, 124405 (c) £25.95) - I haven't decided who this card is going to yet!
I've followed the layout at Mojo Monday 286 Square, Sketch and Stash challenge 110, Can you digi it #32 - pick a season, Ladybug Crafts Ink - anything goes, PPT #1130 party time tuesdays - anything goes, Through the craftroom door TTCRD #2013-13, Try stamping on Tuesday #111 sketch challenge
That's all for today, will be back tomorrow with some pink crafting!
