Happy Sunday to you!
We will begin getting hit by Hurricane Beryl's outer winds tonight.
I've been watching this storm for over a week now and I'm tired of it already, my nerves are kinda shot. It will be a rough 18-24 hours and I wish I could just sleep through it, lol.
Hmmm, maybe I will try.

Time for Challenge #137 at CD Sunday Plus and my teamie Jocelyn is hosting.
The challenge is fortnightly beginning every other Sunday and ending the Saturday before the next challenge.
You must use a CD, USB or Digital image somewhere on your make, which must be a physical creation. And please tell us the image source. Complete rules are listed on the challenge blog sidebar.
My inspiration make is a birthday card for my cousin-in-law. They live in Michigan, so I'm hoping this summery scene looks at least a little familiar to him.
I dry embossed a piece of green shimmery cardstock with an Altenew leafy embossing folder and layered that onto a 6X6 blue shimmer cardstock base.
I added some brown velvet ribbon across the middle of the front.
Then I printed out the Digital File Graphics Etsy 5 Mountain Lakes image on photo paper, fussy cut it and adhered it to a large wheat-colored card stock circle made with my Coluzzle tool.
Then out of white card I cut the grass die and the canoe die, colored them with Promarkers and arranged to adhere to my little scene. I stamped an MFT sentiment on a scrap of kraft, trimmed it down and out lined it with a white gel pen before adhering it with a dimensional strip.
The back and inside of the card.
I found a piece of very old designer card stock with a masculine look for the back along with a stamped and punched siggie.
Inside, I added a sentiment printed on light green paper that I composed in PSE.
Come play with us at CD Sunday Plus Challenge if you get the chance!
Have a wonderful Sunday however you spend it and thanks for visiting.

I love green and blue as a color combo because it's calming, peaceful and cool.
I am a Pisces and gravitate towards those and blue-purples.

ReplyDeleteJust a quick visit! Love the beautiful card. Have a great, new week! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty scene. I like the rowboat/canoe and how it stands out. The colors are really great. My favorites actually. I hope Beryl treats you kindly. I saw that you might be in tropical storm area, but that could have changed. Stay safe and dry. hugs-Erika

A beautiful scene Aimes, so restful, seems like you need to absorb it with the worry of the hurricane. I know these can deviate from their route sometimes, I hope it does for your sake. Such a worry for everyone. The weather patterns are crazy this year, we had 20C temperature this morning it's now 16C, definitely not Summer temperatures. Keep well and safe. x
ReplyDeleteYou picked lovely colors from the inspiration challenge for your scene! I would love to be right there right now! Looks so relaxing! Thanks for joining the hand stamped sentiments challenge!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful calming scene, I love the colours. Thank you for joining in at As You Like It. Lynne DT

ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful scene! What could be better than summers by the lake 😊. Hope the storm missed you. Take care and thanks so much for joining us at Try it on Tuesday! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteHi Aimes. As I said on Admin I love this scene. In fact, I have been shopping big time from Digital File Graphics. I think I have bought about 7 files and can't wait to use them.
ReplyDeleteBack to your card. It is fantastic. So I can copy you properly I need to find a suitable boat die. Off to check what I have got before going shopping again.
Hugs
