Hello, everyone! I don't know about you, but I can't believe that September is nearly here! I am taking one last shot at summer today, because as much as I am looking forward to sweater weather, I am not quite ready for our rainy season!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with some more digital images from Last Minute Manda and I chose the adorable Timmy Turtle Loves the Beach digi set and made this super cute trio of summer cards.
I colored all of the images using the same color palette with Copic markers (listed below), cut them out, and set them aside to figure out my layouts. I found some the amazing Gone Surfing digital paper collection from Scrapbook Gems on Etsy that I used on all three cards.
How cute is this darling turtle driving the car? I wanted to add something to the license plate, so I used the Honey Bee Stamps Big Pickup Tailgate stamp set to add the license plate text. It was perfect!
I die-cut two circles using the Card Basics Dies from Kindred Stamps and I inked the edges using Stampin' Up Pacific Point ink. I inked the edges of all of the other card stock panels using Stampin' Up Pumpkin Pie ink. For the sentiment, I did some two-toned stamping using the same colors with the Celebrate & Enjoy stamp set from The Greeting Farm.
To complete my card, I popped the sentiment panel up on foam squares, the turtle and car on doubled up foam squares and then added some Dew Drops.
For my second card, I paired this cute image from more digital papers from the collection I mentioned above. I used the Elizabeth Craft Stitched Indented Squares to create a backdrop for the turtle.
This time, I inked up the edges using Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink and Pacific Point from Stampin' Up. I stamped the sentiment from the Mini-Remix Sunshine stamp set from the Greeting Farm and I popped that panel up on foam squares.
I then popped the turtle up using doubled up foam squares to give him some extra height. Lastly, I added some Dew Drops.
For my last card, I found a sentiment that I really loved, and I printed it out. I used the Card Basics Dies from Kindred Stamps to die-cut my circles again, and I inked all of the panels up using Pacific Point ink. (This time I inked the entire circle using a sponge dauber).
As in the previous cards, I used a single layer of foam squares for the sentiment panel and I doubled them up for the main image. Lastly, I added some dew drops.
