A Reminder of Summer

Tomorrow is the first day of school for my students. Therefore, today is technically the last day of Summer Vacation.  I needed a reminder of summer, so I decided to post this card today:

Stamps: Mouthwatering, Bring on the Cake
Paper: Sahara Sand, Pool Party, Whisper White, Summer Starfruit
Ink: Calypso Coral, Sahara Sand Markers
Accessories: Big Shot, Stripes Textured Embossing Folder, Baker's Twine, Pool Party Ruffled Ribbon

 I wanted an easy, yet boyish card to go with my other one for last month's Crafty Night and I missed. Apparently, it was girly. I found the colors in a summer picture. I loved it, but still didn't quite make it it boyish enough. Perhaps the frilly ribbon? The bow?  Oh well,  girl birthday card it was!

This is a pretty straightforward card--textured the back paper, stamp the image using markers to color, and then put it all together!

Happy Stamping!
