Sweet Summertime

The June release from Frantic Stamper is Summertime and Leisure time.  Its not very summery temperature wise here but today its the perfect winters day.  Blue skies, cold, crisp and clear. Although we have had a lot of rain the last day or so and the next few ahead are forecast to be just like today.  If you can find a patch of sunshine its just beautiful.

Todays card features a new die set called Day at the Beach.  It contains the classic icons we would associate with a day at the beach.  Bucket, spade, ball and sandcastle.  As teenagers my children still like to build at the beach.  Their sandcastles are much larger and more elaborate than as littlies and their spades are more like the big garden variety these days but the lure of the sand is still there.

I chose a piece of design paper that reminds me of the beach and cut a circle from it.  I then blended a piece of white in matching colours to place behind.  I stamped my sentiment and die cut a sandcastle placing it to show in the background.  I then cut the ball, bucket and spade to create a little trio in front of the circle.  Finishing up with a swirl of pearls to represent the waves and bring the card together.

There are lots of wonderful dies in this release so be sure to pop to the store and check them out.

Thanks for your visit today.
