FOSTV81 - Summer Fun

It is a new week and the sun is still shining so it is time for an appropriate challenge at Friends of Speedy TV - this week the challenge is Summer Fun.

I had some fun making this card and also some frustration - several attempts hit the bin!

Mixed Media is very popular right now so I tried to have a go with what I had on hand and am entering this into this weeks JUGS challenge.

The attempts with masking tape were binned and I don't have anything else like that to try so I just used distress inks (sea and sky), acrylic paint (fluffy white clouds), stencil with a spray ink (palm silhouette), ric-rac ribbon (sea edge) and some glitter (sand).  The stamps I used are from the Marks Finest Papers set called I Need a Vacation.  I think there are many people who would agree with that sentiment particularly all those teachers finishing this Friday.


Here is a close up of my card - acrylic paint clouds, stencilled palm tree behind the stamped one and ric rac edged sea.


Please play along with our Summer Fun challenge - you can find it here and the prize for one particpant this week is a cute little tree set called Tree Selections.

Have a great week.
Janine

    I love the colors Janine!!!! I think your stencil came out cool, kind of looking up at the sky and seeing pictures in the clouds!!! Love the ric rac too! I think this is a fun card! You will have to tell me about what happened with the masking tape!

    How very cool! I think the ric rac mimics the water in a most wonderful way!
