Hello Friends and Happy Monday! If you celebrated America's 250th Birthday this past weekend, I hope you had a wonderful time. We had a nice weekend with family and friends, saw some amazing fireworks and ate some delicious food.
Today begins a new challenge month at The Inspiration Station Challenge Blog. Our inspiration photo is a good one featuring tropical, summer, beach, and Christmas in July things.
I've taken inspiration from the plastic lawn flamingo ornaments for my card today. Using a set I've had in my stash since May of 2024 and never used (typical), I created a card with a tropical vibe. The set is the "Let's Get Together" stamp and coordinating die set from Spellbinders, which was the Clear Stamp of the Month for May 2024.
I've embossed a panel using the "Happy Hibiscus" 3-D Embossing folder from Stampin' Up and ink blended over the top using Distress inks. I've colored the stamped image using alcohol markers, and cut out both the image and sentiment using the coordinating dies.
I've adhered the image flat to the embossed panel and popped the sentiment on foam pads. Lastly, I've added blue Dazzles for that sparkle and shine.
We invite you to join us at the challenge this month and share your inspired projects. And we hope to inspire you with ours. Until next time, Happy Crafting!
