simon says stamp monday challenge: summer memories

Hi crafty friends, welcome to this week’s Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Thank you for joining us us for last week’s Happy Birthday Challenge to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. This week’s challenge is Summer Memories and I hope you will play along with us. I have created a card featuring a favorite summer memory of almost all my summer vacations…tropical drinks! There is nothing like sitting by the ocean (or the pool) and having someone serve you a few of these. 

 

To create this card, I started with a piece of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. I created an inky background using DIstress Oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Rusty Hinge and Ripe Persimmon. Once the panel was dry, I stamped over it in Ripe Persimmon using the Halftone stamp from the Halftone and Rings stamps set . I stamped and paper pieced the cocktail from the Cocktail Blueprints stamp set and colored in the cocktail using a paintbrush and DIstress Ink reinkers. I added a sentiment sticker from the Idea-ology Snarky Small Talk.
