Hello!
Hope everyone is staying cool and dry!
We've been holed up inside trying not to sweat our buns off in 100F heat and on Hurricane Beryl watch. I have a childhood friend who retired to Cancun and she is fixing to get it.
It's Summertime, alright!
So here is a nice Summertime birthday card for a sweet college friend of our daughter's who has become like a second daughter to us. She loves owls, mushrooms and all bright neon colors, especially pink, purple and orange. So, I tried to include all that on her card, lol.
I chose this Splitcoaststampers sketch for my layout design.
Instead of that huge heart, I added a small hearts cluster.
The hearts were part of the mushroom stamps and dies set I used.
Supply List:
Recollections white card base
SU white card for stamping
Prima Sasha A7 designer papers
Promarkers to color images
Woodware Hunting Owl Linocut stamp
HOTP and Lawn Lawn sentiment stamps
Versamark+Nocturne VF Clair inks+clear embossing powder
Altenew Mushrooms and Hearts stamps and dies
Cheerful, Verdant and Charming Pink VF Clair inks
Inside I stamped a mashup of MFT, Hero Arts, PoppyStamps and Altenew stamps for the sentiment.
On back, more of the Prima Sasha papers and a Stamped and punched siggie.
An angled close-up to try to show the magnificent heat embossing I got on the focal image and sentiments. The owl looks so good in real life that I decided to leave him uncolored as I think he stands out better that way.
And final view.
Thanks for visiting me today and I hope your week is a pleasant one!

Thanks x 3 for sharing at Christmas or Not Bingo, FarmQuest Anything Goes (outdoors/owl/trees), and for HAOOCAYR's birthday occasion!!! The scene you've created is so creatively coordinated! It's one of your styles of cards that each time you look at it, you'll discover something new each time!! --Becca
A couple of days with little computer time and boy do I get behind.I haven't sent he news either so what did happen with Beryl. I know it hit the Windward Islands; that's the last I saw. Onto your card; I love this owl. Those bright colors look great. It's an interesting image too. It looks like a woodcut. Did you end up pigging out on a lot of food yesterday? I did. More some other post for me. Thanks once again for joining AJJ. hugs-Erika
Your Summertime birthday card is delightful! The combination of bright neon colors, including pink, purple, and orange, along with the owl and mushroom motifs, captures the fun and vibrant personality of your daughter's friend. The choice of the Splitcoaststampers sketch for layout design provides a structured yet creative framework, while the heat embossing on the focal image and sentiments adds a touch of elegance and depth to the card. It's sure to bring a smile to your daughter's friend on her special day!
