Contributors to this blog hop are all members of Claire Daly's Art With Heart group. We love chatting, crafting and getting together in person. This is week 40 of our blog hop and the featured colour is Pool Party.
We are experiencing true summer in Melbourne at the moment - and although it is almost too hot & dry to breathe, my thoughts turned to Pool Party and summer-type stamps.
I pulled Beach Days, a new bundle of stamps and dies in the current mini Catalogue (page 58) and an Annual Catalogue stamp, Beside Me, which is also being offered as a free pick if you order $90 before 29 February. That actually means you could order Beach Days bundle at $85.50, pop a pack of Dimensionals on your order because we always need those, and you have 2 sets covering birthdays, Fathers Day and more.
We played with masking at my Craft & Chat classes in February when I suggested the die cut masked circle could be used to leave a space for the sentiment, so I ran with that idea.
The blending is mainly Pool Party, with a little Coastal Cabana toward the bottom and then I used blends to colour the image.
Let's head over to Theresa Gerrard to see her lovely Pool Party project.

Happy crafting,
Beautiful card Rachel, Pool Party is such a cool summery colour
ReplyDeleteWhat a cooling and relaxing scene you've created Rachel with your beautiful colouring. I hope you get some relief form the extreme weather soon. Love your cheeky seagull too!
ReplyDeleteWe certainly got a reprieve from that weather today! Wasn't the cool weather welcome? I love the calming look provided by the Pool Party background on your card, Rachel. My favourite feature of your card is the seagull perched on the sentiment, inside and out. Clever use of the masked circle for the sentiment on the front, too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely serene scene you have created Rachel and Pool Party is the perfect choice. Great idea for the masked area for the sentiment.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant summer days card, Rachel. I can almost hear the breeze and that cheeky seagull waiting for the trio to reel in a fish or two. Love the colours and layering too!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful peaceful scene of a father with his kids. I love your card. It’s a perfect way to showcase Pool Party. Love your masked circular area for the sentiment too. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe cheeky seagull is a fabulous addition to your card, as is the masked sentiment circle. It really is a wonderful card.
