Hello there! It’s the third week of August and our weather is still sun and warm. It’s hard to believe that the kids here in Michigan are heading back to school right after Labor Day. Today I’m sharing my card for this week’s Color Throwdown Challenge.
For my card, I used the Hello Bluebird stamp set Hippos on Holiday along with the Hippos on Holiday dies. These hippos totally crack me up! I stamped and colored all of my images using Copic markers then die cut them out. For the white frame I used the Gallery Frame die #3 and for the sandy beach I used the Stitched Hillside Border dies and some kraft card stock which I blended on some vintage photo distress oxide ink. For the waves in the background I used the Stitched Wave Borders dies and some aqua mist card stock. To create my sunny background, I made my own stencil using the Sun Ray dies and blended on some fossilized amber and wild honey distress oxide inks. For my sentiment, I stamped it onto a banner that I die cut using the Stitched Sentiment Strips dies.
