Summer has finally arrived

Summer has finally arrived

• Tuesday, 4 July 2017

It was a lovely and warm weekend on Vancouver Island and we celebrated Canada's 150th Birthday!  It was amazing to see the "sea of red and white" at the celebrations at Transfer Beach on Saturday!  I received this amazing card from my friend Diane Evans in my monthly swap.  I love how she created it using the Colorful Seasons stamp set (Item 143726) and coordinating Seasonal Layers Thinlits (Item 143751) that are available in the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue.

Color Theory 

I wanted to share a card that I made using the Crafting Forever stampset (Item 143958) and two of the new In Colours - Lemon Lime Twist and Tranquil Tide.  I also used the new Ruffled embossing folder (Item 143699) to add some texture to the background.

I love this combination together.  Feels very summery to me.  

Here's list of the supplies I used:

• Crafting Forever Clear-Mount Stamp Set
• Crafting Forever Wood-Mount Stamp Set 
• Ruffled Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder  
• Tranquil Tide 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock 
• Lemon Lime Twist 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock 
• Tranquil Tide 1/2" Finely Woven Ribbon 
• Lemon Lime Twist 1/4" Ombre Ribbon 
• 2016-2018 In Color Stampin' Write Markers
