Classy but cool...

I'm in full hibernation mode today!  it's a scorcher outside....so hot and humid.  Thank goodness for air conditioning, but what about those that don't have it!  It looks like it should cool down a bit for Sunday, and maybe some thunderstorms before then.  I quite like watching a storm, just so long as it isn't too crazy and severe.  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.


For today's card, I finally got around to inking up some new rubber stamps.  No colouring, just black ink and a pretty patterned DP from Webster's Pages makes for a nice easy card.  Other than the die cuts, the only embellishment is 3 little gemstones.

Supplies used:
Magical Mini Letter Seals from Whimsy Stamps
Dies -  Floral Ovals & Inverted Scalloped Circles from Spellbinders

Thanks so much for visiting, and be sure to take care in this heat!  Try to put your feet up and drink lots of water....or something...

    Just love the red frame on this card, it really pops and makes the gorgeous image stand out. A fabulous card Joyce. Still hot here too, into the 30s and no AC as we normally don't need it, trouble is it's very sticky at night. We had a rumble of thunder earlier on but nothing came of it. I am getting a tan without going on holiday at the moment.
