BSS MONDAY IDEA - Summertime

 Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

This week we are ushering in summer with a bright fun card with

a beautiful picnic scene.

Card size is 6x4 1/2 inches side folded

Stamps - Cling Picnic Spread (CRP266) Stampendous

Inside Sentiment - Summer-(E3927) PrintWorks

Paper, Red, yellow and white cardstock.

Embossing folder- Darice Basket Weave

Die Cut Oval - Spellbinders - (S-5022) Labels Ten

Flowers are tiny punches from my stash

Center of flowers are flower soft yellow

Leaves are a Martha Stewart punch

Gingham Ribbon and paper strip on inside

 I cut the mat (51/2x4 inches) from yellow cardstock

which I had embossed and then swiped a light brown

distress ink across the mat lightly to highlight the embossing.

I colored the image with Copics, cut it out with the

fourth die in the set (starting from the smallest)

I then made a frame with the red card stock by inserting

that die into the next largest die and cutting 

with my die cut machine. Taped the frame to the cutout scene

on the back and adhered the framed image to the

embossed mat. 

Happy Sunny Summer Days!

Thanks for stopping by.

Until later...........
