The Sweet Smells of Summer~with Candy!

Ah...Summer! Our Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Design Team is celebrating "The Sweet Smells of Summer..." in this month's blog hop! Such a glorious time of the year!

I decided to go with beach glass colors, crisp gingham, and a beachy scene--

can't you just smell the fresh air?!?

I began my card with an image from JustRite's new release, "By the Sea," available from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. This new set features four summery images, as well as four different border possibilities. Good news~~Sharon is RUNNING A SALE ON ALL JUSTRITE PRODUCT IN STOCK at the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store -- 20% OFF entire inventory of IN STOCK items of JustRite!

I stamped the beach scene with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then colored it with numerous Copic Sketch markers. Spellbinder Classic Oval dies (also from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store) were used to create the image panel and frame.

I just love the bluegreen tones of beach glass...this crisp gingham paper is October Afternoon's "Fly a Kite" (Stamp Simply Ribbon Store). It has an old fashioned feel, bringing back memories of a gingham sleeveless blouse from when I was young.

A bit of May Art's Ivory Crocheted Ribbon (Stamp Simply Ribbon Store) adds a lacey border touch.

Now, for the best part! Sharon is offering up a sweet gift of blog candy! The Stamp Simply Basic Grey Cappella Kit will go to one fortunate person! Be sure to see all of the sweet details on Sharon's Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and blog.
