If you are a bird person then you are going to love today’s card. If not, maybe you are seaside bay person, either way today’s card is a fun summertime card. My card base begins with Balmy Blue and then I added a layer of Night of Navy. I created my beach scene for Mama bird and her babies on a 3-3/4 x 5 panel of white.

To create my beach scene I used our Blending Brushes and a variety of inks. For the water, I used Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon. I added some white waves using a blender pen and some White Craft ink. The sand was blended with our new color Pecan Pie. The sky was again a mixture of Balmy Blue and Azure Afternoon.

I colored the bird family with a mixture of Stampin’ Blend markers and some watercolor pencils. I stamped the detailed sand dots using the Pecan Pie ink. The greeting is from the new stamp set Seasonal Branches. We have such a great spread of coordinating colors that makes creating fun scene super easy. Go ahead and give it a try, you might be surprised at how easy it is. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Rainy days are always better when shared with a friend or at least a good book. Remember the old saying Rain rain go away come again another day? I think that must have been when I was younger and wanted to go swimming. Now, here in St. Louis we could use a little rain.

This cute little fox from the Playing in the Rain stamp set looks like he is well on his way to a friends house. I think the tiny raindrop stamp really creates a nice effect for this card.

For my card base I used the new In-color Boho Blossom and layered a panel of black on top. My Basic White panel measures 3-3/4 x 5 and I added some Boho Blossom ink to the edges of my greeting panel with a Blending Brush. The umbrella is colored with the Night of Navy Stampin’ Blend and Mr. Fox is colored with some of our watercolor pencils and a blender pen.

So if your day is filled with cloudy skies and raindrops, I hope it is also filled with joy. Let’s be like Mr. Fox, he doesn’t seem like he has any worries at all.
