It's time for a Waltzingmouse Stamps Blog Party! The theme this month is "Summertime Fun." You can see all of the lovely cards with the theme HERE at Claire's blog. You still have time to participate, too! Upload you creation to the Mr. Linky set on her blog by tomorrow at 1:00 PM EST and a random participant will win a stamp set of choice. Claire will announce the winner and also highlight some special mentions on her blog on Thursday, June 20th.
Nothing is more fun for my family than going to visit my sister and her family in Manahawkin, New Jersey! We visit the beaches of Long Beach Island. My niece's husband John is quite the surfer and this card makes me think of all of his cool shirts and boards...and the Ron Jon Surf Shop in Ship Bottom, NJ...
I stamped the bubbles and wave from Free Spirit Boy onto some paper from "The Pier" collection by Crate Paper. Roughed it up around the edges and added some woodgrain paper along the borders.
Can't wait to see all of the party projects! Summer is slow in getting here in Upstate New York. Rain, rain, and more rain. I am ready to feel some sun on my skin about now!
Supplies:
Stamps: North Shore and Free Spirit Boy, both Waltzingmouse Stamps
Paper: The Pier by Crate Paper, PTI Kraft, Recollections "Wood Floor" paper
Ink: Fresh Ink in Strawberry, A Muse Studio Mermaid and Burano inks, VersaMark, Copics
Other: Filagree white embossing powder, Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities, Stickles, twine, edge distresser, mini rhinestones
