The Card Concept #15 and Paper Smooches SPARKS

Hello my friends!

It's time for another fabulous challenge at The Card Concept!


This weeks challenge is to create a card in these lovely summer colors.



And that is exactly what I did here  Those colors spoke to me, they said "summer breeze Kay". :)



I can't tell you how much fun I had creating this one. I love this die from Paper Smooches and have been wanting to use it. When I saw the colors in the inspiration photo, I just knew I could make it work with my little boat! I die cut all the different pieces and made my ocean scene fresh with flying seagulls, then  I cut out all the pieces for the sailboat and adhered it all to my scene with foam tape. I just glued the fishies and the seagull straight down. Didn't want them popping off my page :)

Supplies:
Dies- rounded corner mat- Spellbinders, stitched cloud- Mama Elephant, water- My Favorite Things, Seagulls- Lawn Fawn, Boat and fish- Paper Smooches. 
Paper- Stampin Up and Recollections white

Thanks so much for stopping by! Stop by and see what the other designers have created and  I hope you'll join us for the challenge at The Card Concept!

I am also adding this card to the current Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge, anything goes!



Hugs,



Kay :)

  2. Woweee, Kay! Another fantastic scene! Oh what you can you with a die (or a bunch of them) is just amazing. I can almost hear those seagulls squawking. The colors you chose to represent the challenge colors are fabulous and every piece placed wonderfully. Fantastic! Happy Smiles...

  11. This is so fabulous, Kay! I love how you paired your patterned papers for the sails, and as always, how your layered your papers and elements! I don't know how you do it, but your designs are so 'eye-catching', and this is no exception! I really love this card!!! Definitely a 'Summer Breeze'!

  13. First, apologies for having fallen behind in commenting - but the gazing and admiring has occurred! Just call me 'slow poke' with a sprinkle of disorganized added for good measure! Arriving late, all the 'good' comments have been taken, so I'll echo the others: absolutely, completely and totally FABULOUS!, Kay! Your 'background' of having worked at a marina is shining through with this charming, splendid, eye-catching sail boat scene! A wonderful interpretation of the challenge theme; inspired and inspiring, as always! Gosh, but I love visiting your blog....
    Hugs~c
