As we finally had a bit of hot weather I have been thinking (obsessing) about the beach and the big blue. So it was pre-ordained that I would choose blue when our August Country View Challenge came around with Monochromatic as the theme, hosted by Debs!
I settled on a birthday card with a cheesy sentiment:
I settled on a birthday card with a cheesy sentiment:
The dolphins were stamped, coloured with pencils and fussy cut. The stamped sentiment is embossed with white detail EP.
Both the folder and the stamps are from a recent Creative Stamping magazine (issue 97).
I hope I have inspired you to enter our challenge, but do have a look at what the DT made on the Country View Challenge blog for more inspiration. If you do link up a project you will be in with a chance to win a £20 voucher for the Country View Craft shop.
Thanks for coming by,
I am entering the SSS Wednesday, Allsorts challenges.
Effective waves Christine and fun sentiment to go with the Dolphins.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say when I visited earlier, no issue leaving the milk out as we don't drink it and it will defo be strong and black, my must have is a Miele bean to cup. Wouldn't it be nice to share a cup or two as we crated away.

Elle est belle ta carte, très délicate et bien pensée comme toujours... Tu as de la chance d'avoir encore accès à ce magazine qui fournit des tampons et même des classeurs d'embossage si je comprends bien ! Nous c'est de plus en plus le désert... :) Bises
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card with a great summer vibe, Christine! I would love to be at the sea! The embossed waves are the perfect background for the lovely dolphins.
