It's Sunday and time for new challenges at The Paper Players and Sunday Stamps.
I am the hostess this week at The Paper Players and I have a timely Theme Challenge for all of you! "Summer Fun" has so many possibilities. We can't wait to see your creative take on this theme.
The color challenge at Sunday Stamps was perfect for my summer themed card. I love this combo!
Many of us think of swimming and the beach for summer, but I decided to go a different direction and think back to fond memories of my childhood and going on a picnic. Do you still go on picnics? This old stamp set has been sitting in my stash and it was time to ink it up. It is from Craftin Desert Divas. This company is no longer in business, but this set makes me smile. The set is named "Let's Do Lunch". I used a die set from Penny Black to cut the Navy background and emboss the stitching and circles on the panel. The die set is called Slimline Medley I added red gingham paper behind the circles. I stamped the ants, pie and basket and and colored them with Copic Markers. I fussy cut all the pieces. I stamped the sentiment in the center circle. A few white enamel dots and goggly eyes were added to complete my card.

ReplyDeleteClaire... so looking forward to working with you! A picnic was a perfect choice and your ants are adorable!
ReplyDeleteHah, those little ants look like they know just how to invite themselves to a picnic! Love the diecuts and the plaid background! CUTE!
ReplyDeleteYour card is absolutely darling Claire! Love the slimline design with the three circle openings showcasing the red gingham and those cute ants! They definitely invite themselves to all outdoor food events in my experience lol! Once again we are teamies! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe slimeline format suits this card so well. Nothing says summer picnic quite like the fruit, the ants and that lovely red checked tablecloth!

ReplyDeleteSo cute card, congrats 💐☺️ happy day
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card, Claire! The gingham adds a wonderful country vibe. And those ants...how adorable! Oh my gosh... old-fashioned picnics were a big thing when I was growing up decades ago. This little trip down memory lane has made me want to plan a true picnic! This was an awesome theme, Claire!
ReplyDeleteOh my, those ants! They're just too darn cute. Wonderful card Claire.
