Ready Set Recline
Earlier this week I played with a couple of Amuse stamps I recently purchased. Needless to say, the cabana stamp caught my eye immediately. And then when I saw the "ready set recline" stamp, I knew I needed them both. I stamped the cabana on Whisper White cardstock and after punching a scallop circle in the Bordering Blue cardstock, I adhered the stamped image to the underside of the card front, centering it inside the scallop circle. I colored in the stripes and chair with my SU Bordering Blue marker (Did I ever mention how much I "love" my SU markers?). After tying the ribbon onto the card, the card still needed something and the Denami palm trees stamped in black ink were the perfect addition. This will be used as a Father's Day card for someone, but it would also be perfect for get well wishes or happy birthday greetings. As a matter of fact, I made a similar card using Barely Banana cardstock and I sent that to my son-in-law who was having some hand surgery. On the Barely Banana version, after stamping on the Whisper White cardstock, I punched the image and adhered that to the front of the card using dimensionals. The next time I make this card, I will use bright colors for that Key West look.
I am married (50 years now~~oh my!) and have two children:
Jen and Matt. Jen and her husband blessed us with a beautiful granddaughter who is now 19 years old. I am also a "grandma" to five dogs, 2 birds and more! My dog, Charlie, is our spoiled Shihtzu and I have a cute little parrotlet, Nipper, that is 8 years old.
