Sending Oceans of Love

Hello Blogger Friends! Wow long time no posts from this Blogger. 

It's not that I haven't been creating it's just that my hubby's garden and his harvest is like the Energizer Bunny. It just doesn't quit (LOL)!!! I have been canning tomatoes, making pesto and freezing it and roasting tomatoes and freezing them. the canning process is labor intensive and keeps me from doing other things. Like posting on my Blog. 

I have one last batch of tomatoes to roast and freeze and then it's over for me. Our freezers are full to the brim. So, we will give what's still growing away for others to enjoy. 

Now onto this card I created in August for my sister-in-law's birthday. It was in September, and she had just come back from a beach vacation so it was perfect for her. 

I used the colors from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge. Our colors were melon mambo, daffodil delight and pumpkin pie for her color trio. Option al was a summer theme. 

daffodil delight, melon mambo, pumpkin pie

I used the contents of the Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin kit from July 2023 to create a summer scene. The kit was designed for fun fold step-cards but I chose to make it a flat card. I had this card saved on Pinterest. I changed the colors, sentiment and added starfish to make it my own.

The water scene featuring the boat and sky is designer paper from the kit. The beach and palm trees are dies from the kit. For the water I sponged it with night of navy ink (an allowed neutral).

I added the dies to a melon mambo background and then the card base is basic white.

Stamped my sentiment in pumpkin pie ink and added a few starfish that I cut from a CottageCutz die. And that finished off my card.

Well, that's it for me for this post. So, until next time......God bless. I promise it won't be another month till I post.
