By the Sea....

Happy Friday Flourishes Friends!  How is the weather in your neck of the woods?  Is that summer heat getting you down?  Well today the Flourishes Senior Design Team has a treat for you focusing on some beautiful summery sets:   Beach LifeSeaside Life and A Guiding Light  because we know that this time of year makes you long for those cool ocean breezes.

On to my creation! 

This creation is one that I actually made as a CASE of myself! HA, do you ever do that? You like a layout and you decide, hey, why not have a "re-do?" Well, I searched and searched but couldn't find the card or the blog post with the original card. So, you'll just have to trust me! I used the A Guiding Light stamp set, stamped on Flourishes Classic Ivory with Memento Rich Cocoa and then pulled out my Copic markers to give this beachy scene some color! (See the list below for the colors that I used!) I also used the Spellbinders Classic Ovals LG to cut out my shape and then, while the die was still on, I sponged some Memento Summer Sky and Distress Ink in Tea Dye. I also, as you can see below, added a little bit of razzle dazzle with the help of some glitter glue!  For my mat, I used Spellbinders Labels Ten. Add some scraps from my decorative paper bin, a little rugged linen ribbon, some pearls, a fun shell charm and a punched circle for my sentiment and... ta da! All done! 

Here's a close up of my image.....


Need some more serene and beachy inspiration? Well, creativity is only a click away so head on over and visit...

Thanks so much for stopping by! I have a fun weekend planned -- baseball, birthday parties and basketball! A little bit of everything! Hopefully some fun in the sun as well. Be sure to stop back here Monday, I'll have a fun dose of creativity to share -- it's one where you could WIN big too! See you then!
