BSS IDEA - SUMMERTIME and FRIENDS

Welcome to the Buffalo Stamps and Stuff Monday Idea.

Hot enough for you guys!!  WOW, a little less humidity would be nice.

My poor flowers start to wilt by 9 am.

Do you color up an image and then look for papers to use on

your card, or do you color your stamped image to go with

certain papers?  I have always, ever since I started stamping

colored the image up first without any thought to how I will

use it on a card.  Then I agonize over what papers to use.

Probably not the best method, but how I have always done

it.  It kinda makes you look at color schemes you most

likely would not have chosen first.

Here is my take on summer and friends for this week.

Orange a royal blue color combo.

Close up of sweet image.

Inside of the card.

Stamp - Penny Black Tandem (40-454)

The inside sentiment is included.

Die - Lil'Inker Designs -Dual Dotted Rectangles

Base card is 5x7 Royal Blue card stock.

Used an orange dotted and striped paper and bright orange card stock

 for the panels and some of the bright orange and royal blue

for the added 1/4 inch strips.  Flowers are from my stash.

I added green and yellow Stickles to the image too.

I stamped the image on white card and colored it up 

with Copics.  Using a paper cutter, I trimmed around the image

Leaving part of the mouses tail and part of the umbrella

outside the cut out area.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope you have a great day.  Until later.........
