Happy Summer!
Come celebrate Summertime with Topflight Stamps! I’ve teamed up with some great designers to showcase summer cards using the unique products available at Topflight Stamps. Please hop along with us for a chance to win!
You should have arrived here from the Topflight Stamp’s blog. If not, no worries, catch the Blog Hop details below, but first my card.
I started out by creating my background using an old gel press print I had made using PaperArtsy Fresco Paints and the Visible Image Square Route Stencil.
I stamped some fun patterns around my card with the Visible Image Grunge Tones along with the included sentiment. To finish off my card I added some Hunkydory Green Gemstones for some added shine.
BLOG HOP DETAILS:
Follow along here and enjoy the summertime vibes!

the colors on this card are lovely – beautiful card and image
I can see the seahorse playing happily in their environment. The colors are lovely, and the sentiment is just perfect.
Love the seahorse and how you colored it. I thought you used black embossing powder. It is always interesting and sometimes, a surprise, to see how someone creates a card.
