Hello Friends! Happy August! I love seeing that month, because that tells me that Autumn is on the way. If you've been following my blog, you'll know that I am not a fan of Summer..just too hot for me. Sooo...this month's Simon Says Stamp kit, Summer Dreams is perfect for chasing away my Summertime blues. It features a stamp set that is loaded with frosty treats and cool sentiments. Just take a look!
I love the bright colors and the fun patterned papers. And that stamp set, designed by Kristina Werner, is sooo darling. She even included little smiling faces that can be added to the treats. So cute!
The card I'm sharing today was inspired by this card HERE. I just love the patterned paper and the way the watercolored ice cream looked. I knew I wanted to create a version of my own...
First, I die cut a tag from watercolor paper, which was included in the kit, using the Lawn Fawn Tag You're It die. Then, I stamped the image with Versamark ink and I embossed it with gold embossing powder. Next, using the two Distress markers that came with the kit, I watercolored the image. I used a Wild Honey Distress marker for the stick. To finish my tag, I stamped the greeting using Audrey Blue ink and tied on some Baker's Twine. I adhered the tag onto the patterned paper with dimensional adhesive and added a few Pretty Pink Posh 4mm Sparkling Clear sequins to finish off the card.
That's all I have to share today. I hope you have an amazing weekend! Thanks for stopping by.

Oh this is so neat, Barb! I like your version of the card. The dimension on the tag is great. The bling is so you and the twine adds great texture. You are so good at creating wonderful cards! Hope you can stay cool enough until autumn gets here! ;)
