Wow! It's July 1st already.....a holiday here for us, as we celebrate Canada Day. I'm not sure if it will be rain or shine, but the temperatures are good....not too hot. It's also time for the next blog hop at Just Inklined, so take a small break and have a peek at what the DT is sharing this month.
Tangii is our lovely hostess this month, with the theme of Stars, Rhinestones & Twine, and I'll start by giving you the blog hop order.
Be sure to leave your comments at each stop, for your chance to win one of the mystery spot prizes.
Here I had a play with one of the new summer images, titled Seaside Anchor. I've coloured it all with copics, giving it a darker sky for a bit of mystery. For me, it brings to mind...buried treasure, so that's where you'll find some tiny gems.
No fancy papers on this one, but a number of die cuts coloured with DI's, and then some doodling. My first time for making that squiggly border, and it's not quite as simple as it seems. Thankfully I used pencil to start, as it took me two tries!
Supplies used:
Spellbinders die - Star Circles
Cheery Lynn die - Ankara Lace
Whimsy - Corner die
I do hope you enjoyed your visit, and all your other stops along the way! Take care now, and enjoy your day!
