Summer in Nantucket ...

 

Hi friends!

Welcome to summer in Nantucket!

This has been a fun-filled week of cardmaking with sharks

and coming up with fun ways to incorporate them into my creating.

This was an idea I *saw* in my head (ahem - first red flag!)

and when I went to actually make it ....

welp.

 

So, here's my we-just-stopped-by-the-giftshop-on-vacation postcard!

Kinda looks like the ones we'd get back in the day, right?!

Honestly, it's almost funny ... especially with the LIGHTHOUSE

in the MIDDLE of the ATLANTIC OCEAN.

Double ahem.

I used various Lawn Fawn stamp sets to create this fun card

and a theme of Red, White and Blue for my Wednesday 

card group on Instagram.

The ink blend was using Distress Oxide Inks and if you look closely,

I inverted the ocean with the darker 'bottom' on the top.

Totally meant to do that - YEP! :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a fun-ny Friday!

Happy Friday!

I hope you are gearing up for a wonderful holiday weekend :)

I had a little time to get inky this week,

catching up on both DT cards and cards just for pun - I mean, FUN!

Like this one!

I was channeling the upcoming 4th of July and reaching for more

red, white and blues ......

a wonderful color combination that speaks to my heart

and for who I am as a child growing up in a military family! ♥

For my card today, I've used Bouncy Ball Riley - LOVE HIM!!! 

He's definitely one of my top faves of all my Riley stamps!

I've paired with the hilarious FunnyBones stamp line stamp

"Once in awhile" sentiment, added a little strip of dsp 

and a trio of sequins ♥

And don't forget to check out the monthly Riley and Company

Stamp Club!

Each month, you'lll not only get a shipment of a variety of stamps,

but a souvener collector's button like this one for

contests, discounts, and much more!

You can read all about it here ← 

I'll see you back again on Monday!

Until then, happy weekend!

Big hugs, bigger blessings!
