Sending A Smile With Von Marie!

Hello everyone. Von Marie here and I’m so excited to tell you all about the New challenge at Inspired by…Blog. The theme this week is Summer #IB399 and the colors and card sketch is oh so fun! 

Let’s get started:

I was inspired by the theme Summer, Summer Tote, and the Colors!!! I used stencils (2)from Papertrey Ink called Beach Bag.  I used white cardstock with Pinkfresh Studio Ocean Breeze Ink Cube, Gina K Designs Sweet Corn ink cube, and Simon Says Stamp Latte.

I cut my background at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  I ink blended a triangle die-cut one that I cut with my scissors. I folded the corner of my card and glued everything to a A2 card base tucking the triangle onto my card base before laying my panel down. 

Sentiments were stamped with Lawn Fawn Hippo ink using a Sizzix Stamp Daily Sentiments #2 and Pink & Main Stay Cool Stamp. I used the coording dies to layer 3 times from the Pink & Main stamp. Lastly, I added this cute Turtle Ephemera from Sweet & Playful Turtles by Not 2 Shabby Shop.  

Now it’s your turn.  How are you inspired? Link your card to the Thursday Post on the Inspired By..Blog
