Here's my summer version of the pepper shaker, with a little glitter, of course!
All stamps are from A Day at the Beach by Papertrey. The word Summer is from the sentiment that says Summer Bash. I just inked the first word.
It took three tries to get this right. First, I tried to use Gray Flannel Memento for the sentiment. Looked weird. Second, I stamped everything too low on the card. Looked unbalanced. Third, I oopsed and got a smidge of ink on the word Bash, but I covered it up with a white gel pen. Can you tell?
For such a simple card, the execution was harder than I expected!
I added the glitter glue to spice things up. To create just a sheen of glitter on the orange drink, I painted the orange Stickles on the glass with a paintbrush.
Supplies
stamps: PTI
ink: Memento
paper: PTI
accessories: Stickles in yellow, lime, and orange
I feel summery already! Fab card

Love it!!! I found inspiration in my morning coffee mug, will share tomorrow, confident it'll make you smile too.
ReplyDeleteCute summery card - I love the Stickles :)
ReplyDeleteGreat card! I just photographed a whole bunch of things in my kitchen and I can't wait to play!
ReplyDeleteYour pepper shaker is a great inspiration piece and I really like your summer card. Sometimes it is the "simplest" cards that are the hardest to nail. After I had finished my sponged dots on my card I wished I had positioned them a little higher but alas no time for remakes.
ReplyDeleteBy the way your holiday sounded so lovely; I am looking forward to more photos and news.
Wow! This pepper shaker was in your cabinet? Great inspiration! I love the OLW challenges.
ReplyDeleteReally bright and adorable.
ReplyDeleteGreat summer card -- perfect placement,naturally ;) I even bought a quilter's ruler - HA! Still can't figure it out!
ReplyDeleteI re-made my one card -- I knew there was a reason I don't re-make cards! Sheesh~ Thanks again for your help
Fantastic!!
ReplyDeleteFresh ! And so nicely pulled together.
ReplyDeleteSusan, this is so cute! It would really make a great set of summer notecards, too. You did a great job with your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteLoving that inspiration AND your card!
ReplyDeleteWow Susan, You rocked this challenge! I love the design, and fun Summery colors along with the sparkle.
ReplyDeleteAs they say, third times a charm and yours absolutely is.
Love the card, but even more so, I loved your 'oopsies'. Makes me not feel so clumsy about my own. TFS
