Summer by the Sea

I thought it was appropriate to use this stamp set for my daughter’s birthday. She’s still my baby even though she’s a Mum herself and will always be my little girl.

The card base in Bashful Blue was stamped with the Canvas background stamp. I stamped the little girl from Summer by the Sea in Stazon Timber Brown on Confetti White and used the aqua pen to colour the image with Blush Blossom, Close to Cocoa, Bashful Blue, Bordering Blue and Old Olive, Summer Sun and Taken with Teal. I tore and distressed the edges of Confetti White, matted onto Bashful Blue, matted on to Close to Cocoa, pricked the corners on the left hand side, attached choc chip taffeta ribbon with button latte secured with linen thread and adhered to card base. I punched a wide oval aperture on bottom right of card and adhered a sentiment stamped and punched out in Whisper White which was adhered to inside of card under the aperture and added a heart raised on dimensionals.
