Oh the sweet days of Summer! They are a thing of the past for us starting on Monday. I cannot believe that our summer is over and it's back to school. The girls start high school and junior high this year. Makes me feel really old:) We have made the most of our summer though. Lots of fun and relaxation!
I created this card by scribbling lightly on a piece of acetate with various Distress Markers. I then spritzed the sheet with water and pressed my Top Note die cut onto the acetate. Once that was dry I stamped the images and sentiment from the Flourishes "Sweet Days of Summer" set. Quick and easy!
This is for the Addicted to CAS "Summer" challenge.
I'm also linking this up to the Smackin' Acetate challenge at Technique Time Tuesday. The have a cool video tutorial over there on this technique.
Stamps: Sweet Days of Summer (flourishes)
Paper: White (PTI)
Ink: black (memento)
Other: distress markers, water, top note die, so saffron ribbon (SU!)
