It's been a long time since I collected shells at the beach. Instead I'm making a rainbow of fish and shells using the Beachcomber Shells and Fun Fish from Simon Says Stamp's Shine On Release. The result is a Bright Beachy Summer Card againtst the finely textured Dotty Corner embossed background. Join me at the beach today and let's walk through some highlights of making this card focused mainly on vibrant ink-blending.

Do you make time for "Just Because" cards? They don't necessarily celebrate a specific occasion, but can just add a little sunshine, smile or chuckle to someone's day. I focused on smiles today so I chose the Quirky Daisy die set from Simon Says Stamp's Shine On Release for my Quirky Daisy Greeting Card. The colors evoke a sunny Summer day where a few blooms are attracting our BEAUTIFUL FLOURISH BUTTERFLY.
