Aloha!

Hello Readers,

For today I will playing along with Addicted to CAS, AAA Cards, and Curtain Call. All of these challenges were fantastic source of inspiration. Here is my card for today, enjoy.

Whimsical sentiment gives a sense of fun. While in contrast the hibiscus gives
a feeling relaxation.

Not centering the flower gives the card interest.
All the white space around the hibiscus and white sentiment
allow this one image to be CAS (I hope).

Such a pretty shade of pink.
I used water to control the saturation of color.

Detail images of the hibiscus and sentiment. Hibiscus was stamped then embossed using clear powder. Notice the sentiment falls off the card but only just a bit.

Oversized hibiscus stamp by Stampendous reminded me of
saying 'Aloha' in the tropical oasis of Hawaii

Challenges Entered: 

Addicted to CAS: Challenge #90- Aloha

AAA Cards: Game #66- Watercolour

Curtain Call: Tasty Tropics

      

So today my family went to teach our dog, Crown, to swim. While I was left home to create this card. Thank goodness because it has been in my head for quite some time. Anyhooo, Crown is a black labrador retriever and apparently is very adept in the water. We weren't sure if he has even experienced swimming in the water as he is a rescue dog. He was a bit scared of the waves but when he got used to it he quite literally went in head first. Splashing, swimming, and wading using his webbed paws and long legs very efficiently. It was like he was doing it all his life. So happy to rescue a dog, especially this dog. Our Crown.

Well that is it for me today! I hope you enjoyed your stay and short stories about my little life in Michigan. Thank you for joining me and until next time, take care and happy stamping!

All the best, 

Shawna
