The challenge over at Bloggers' Challenge this Friday is Summertime! Very appropriate given the heat wave we are enjoying in many parts of the U.S. It was 103 yesterday here . I love the stamps Lisa chose for her card by AO! The are the epitome of summertime. For my card, I chose some of my very first unmounted stamps I ever purchased by Oxford Impressions called By the Sea. This set reminds me of the many years my family spent in Atlantic City, NJ before they brought gambling to town. It was such a gentile place. You dressed up every evening and walked the boardwalk! For my design, I chose to keep most of the images in black and white due to the vintage nature of them, though I added some color with the yellow card stock and to the umbrella, towel and shells with Copic Markers. Other embellishments include netting and liquid pearls. I hope everyone enjoys their weekend and can stay reasonably cool. I am also entering this card at 365 Cards - Day 143 - Having a Heat Wave! I would love to hear your comments regarding my card, if time allows when you stop by. Thanks so much. YvonneFriday, July 22, 2011
