Clean and Simple Summer
No ribbons, buttons or bows. Purely clean and simple for summer. Fresh and white.Last night I was at a gathering of stamping friends and Deb did a Copic demo and we all got to color — how fun! She brought some fun stamps and I chose this image by Cornish Heritage Farms. I thought it would be suited perfectlyfor a simple summer card.
My card is 5.25″ wide x 5.5″ high. My simple *Summer* sentiment was easily made using font by JustRite — Times New Roman, both Uppercase and Lowercase, used on a Harmony Rectangle Stamper. I love being able to create any sentiment I want, in any size! This sentiment is in 50 pt. font. And now that I’ve got *Summer* on my block, I think I’m just going to go ahead and stamp many of them on a sheet of white paper to have on hand for future projects. Both the floral image and sentiment were cut using Nestabilities, Classic Rectangle for the image andLong Rectangle for the sentiment.
Stamps: Image by Cornish Heritage Farms, Sentiment used Times New Roman Uppercase and Times New Roman Lowercase, both by JustRite, on the Harmony Rectangle Stamper
Paper: PTI White
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black (image) and Versa Fine Onyx Black (sentiment), Copics to color
Accessories: Classic Rectangle and Long Rectangle Nestabilities by Spellbinders, Foam Mounting Tape, SU Dimensionals
I’m so glad you stopped in today. I am so hoping to get back on a better schedule with more regular posts. I’ve so missed my time to create. We are having very cold weather, not the least bit summer-like, so I’m wishing for warmer days here soon; thus, the SUMMER card — LOL!!! Hope you are all having a good week and enjoying your summer!
