Summer holidays………..where are they???
Hello, this week at STAMP-N-DOODLE we were tasking with creating something with the theme of summer holidays…….something we are sadly in need of here.
Looking out the window today you’d be forgiven for thinking it was November.
Here is the card I have made this week. I used the Stamp-N-Doodle image called Calm Seas
My other DT member have made some wonderful cards too, why not head over to the challenge site to have a look. I went for a really clean and simple look for this card, a style that really drawsmy eye when viewing other crafters sites.
I coloured the image using a Brayer and Distress Ink pads. I kept th whole card simple with straightforward matting and layering. As a finishing touch I masked the image and sprayed the ea with Crafters Companion Spray and Sparkle. It adds just a glisten that is beautiful and reminds me of the sun sparling on the surface of the water.

This is a beautiful card! I love the sharp images and the clean look of your card. The lighthouse scene is colored to perfection. I also love the little "rope" with the sailor's knot at the end. What a cute embellishment! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
