Artistically Inked for PP544

 Hello and thanks for visiting!

The Paper Players Challenge for this week is a theme challenge from Ann - Signs of Summer!  For me summer is water, swimming, relaxing and having some time away at the lake.  So water, or the look of water inspired my card.  Please click on either my card or the Paper Players image to go directly to their blog post.  Enjoy the inspiration!

A little closer look at the bling which hopefully adds to the feel of water sparkling under a summer sun!  One of my fav summer sweet treats is a popsicle, so I had to use this little popsicle from the April 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit.     

 ***The Trix with this card is to make it summertime easy!  Use what you love and what inspires you - for me that's water created with the Artistically Inked image using watery blue colours.  Then, use what you have, don't stress, make it easy, just create, pull out supplies from your stash and have fun - that's what summer is about!

And here's the card details:

5 1/2 x 4 1/2 Coastal Cabana card base (5 1/2 x 8 1/2 folded in half landscape orientation)

Middle layer is Balmy blue, and it's a smidge bigger than the Basic White, just to be there  ha :)  5 5/16 x 4 1/16

Assembly & Trix:

*  Create the background by stamping the image from Artistically Inked with using Balmy Blue and Coastal Cabana all over the Basic White layer.
