The Wednesday Challenge at Simon Says this week is Midsummer Blues. It's a bit past mid-summer here, and I'm beginning to feel the blues! I'm definitely not looking forward to the cold weather and having to isolate inside again. I'm trying to make the most of every warm, sunny day---getting out for walks or bike rides, eating our meals on the patio, seeing some friends for patio and porch visits.
But I do have a pretty card for the Midsummer Blues challenge created almost entirely with products from The Greetery.
After ink blending a panel, I die cut it with one of the Nordic Frames and adhered it to a card base made with woodgrain paper from Simon Says. Then I stamped a group of images from Signed and Sealed with a Kiss. Betsy Veldman's layering stamps are among the easiest to use. It's a technique I've yet to master.
I die cut the images and arranged them on the frame, adding a banner with a sentiment from The Greetery's Sentiment Suite: Birthday. The banner die is also from the Sentiment Suite series.
The final touch was to add a few Papertrey Ink clear rainstones.
