Hello everyone, today I am sharing 2 separate posts, they are due at different times so I didn't combine. It's the first of August (how time flies!!!) and of course that means it's the start of a new Four Seasons challenge. This is our last month of summer for this year and hope you'll join us. As always it's Anything Summer Goes but we do have a wonderful mood board to inspire you if you need a starting point.
And here is my card inspired by the sealife and colors.
I still had the Silent Sea paper pad by Stamperia out on my desk and thought these small squares from one of the pages would work well with the moodboard in mind. They were glued onto a piece of smoky blue cardstock and then onto a stenciled background. I used Lavinia's Feather Leaf stencil, the pattern reminds me a little bit of water droplets. Inks for stenciling are Stormy Sky and Anique Linen (Distress inks/oxides) but it looks like the colors got mixed up a bit as it's hard to tell a difference. I found a perfect shade of red cardstock to coordinate with the crab and coral and I used my sewing machine along the edges. Card base is by Stampin Up but not sure which color. Probably retired as it's been a long time since I purchased colored cardstock and I no longer sort by color name.
The small words are stamps from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Tiny Text Stamp set.
I am sharing the card with these challenges:
