Red, White, Blue and "Thinking of You"...as I'm dreaming of a sandy beach, waves crashing on the rocks, the warm sunshine on my face, and a fruity drink. Oh! And lighthouses too! I just love them. Don't you? Which one is your favorite? They remind me of family vacations and you can feel all that history when you're standing in front of them. Which say all American to me and I love sharing that history with my kids. So I wanted this card to be red, white, and blue in all it's patriotic glory. And this Eat Cake Graphics lighthouse stamp goes perfect with this Graphic 45 nautical paper collection. Don't you think?

See tutorial below... Even though it’s Fall where I am, we are having an Indian Summer with 70-80 degree weather. I can't complain, because it's NEVER like this. Even in Colorado where we can have all four seasons in one day. It's still rare. But I won't hold my breath...it's almost always cold, rainy, or snowing on Halloween and I still take my kids trick or treating. But for a few more weeks we can go outside and enjoy the mountains, beach, or a lake.
So, because of this wonderfully warm weather I was inspired to make this card to remember the days of being at the beach, gathering seashells, and dreaming of mermaids. Or getting in a few more warm lazy days. I received all these precious shells and beads from my Mother-in-law and adhered them with glossy accents, as it dries clear. I knew I wanted to use the shells with this adorable Eat Cake Graphics mermaid stamp... Sun, sea, and sand is the theme for this weeks challenge and I don't know about you, but I LOVE being on the water. And I"m lucky my hubby's a nautical person, so I make a lot of "boat" type cards for him. I used this wonderful SU stamp set to set the tone. I could have added a lot more color and bling to this, but I wanted to keep it simple and natural and let the plaid pattern paper pull the colors together. And used my copic markers to color some pastel button brads a brownish rust color. I love using alcohol markers to change the colors of gems, pearls, brads, and metal embellishments to name a few. I hope you're enjoying your summer and get out on the water too!
I entered this card in: 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge: 4 CC #256 {Sun, Sea and Sand!} Sun, surf, and sailing all remind me of summer. And I don't know about you, but I LOVE being on the water. For this "beach" themed challenge I combined sailing with the beach boardwalk. Doesn't it look like those planks on the dock? I used this adorable sailboat stamp and added some bling with glitter pens and adhesive gems, cut out with my wavy decorative scissors, and inked the edges. Inked a blue streak down the middle of this boardwalk pattern paper by "My Minds Eye-on the bright side" to mimic water. Then popped it up for some dimension. Added this adhesive burlap star and American Crafts natural twine. I usually leave my cards blank inside, but this was for my hubby, so I can show you. I found this free quote "here" that fit perfectly, printed it in color on white cardstock on my printer, cut it out with wavy decorative scissors, and matted on blue cardstock. Happy Anniversary! I entered this card in: 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge: 4 CC #256 {Sun, Sea and Sand!} Little Red Wagon Challenge: Challenge #298 - Beach Theme 4 Crafty Chicks Challenge: 4CC #255 - Clean and Simple or CAS Patriotic is the theme to get ready for Independence Day! What are your plans? Do you love barbeque's with friends and family? Fireworks? Or a quiet day at home? Whichever it is, enjoy your independence and celebrate! For this card the BoBunny paper really shined...
