I've got a card to share today! :) I've used the beautiful new Skipping Stones
Breathtaking Butterflies (Thanks,
Karen!!!) Stamps to create my focal point. I stamped the background in navy, and embossed the top with white diamond embossing powder. The patterned paper is ooooolllld JBS, and I even embossed a nestie scallop frame. I tied a bit of navy burlap string, also using it for antennae. If you are wondering why the 6 'diamonds' under the sentiment- this card is for my husband's Aunt & Uncle's 60th wedding anniversary- and diamonds are the theme for 60 years!
So I will link to
Skipping Stones challenge, the
Ribbon Carousel's challenge &
Kim Kesti's challenge! (Erin will be so proud! lol)
And here's a couple of pics from our 4th- it's rare to get a family shot!
And my cutie parents celebrated with us! :)
And because this guy came for a visit in my golden full-moon maple this morning, I'll share his fun pic too!
Summer FINALLY arrived in the PNW- the joke is that it shows up on the 5th of July, but this year it was the 4th!!! So we're about to head out for some slip & slide fun!
Thanks so much for stopping by!!
Gorgeous card and an even more beautiful family, Jen!!
ReplyDeleteI'd happily send you some of the heat we've had here in KY - currently it is 96 with a heat index of 100 which is much cooler than it has been - Enjoy your warmth!!
