DL.ART Thankful Thursday Challenge #183 - Summertime

Happy Thursday!! The weekend is almost here!! But first, it's time for a new Thankful Thursday Challenge at DL.ART!! The theme this week is Summertime or you could always substitute a thank you card instead. Use the code l01210 to get 10% off your regular price order at DL.ART :)


For my summertime cards, I started with papers from the Balmy Breeze collection from Heartfelt Creations layered over some tulle. Texture paste was applied through a Prima Wood Grain stencil.


The tags are from My Creative Time with White Twine from DL.ART.


A Memory Box Magic Flourish was added behind the flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, as well as Sue Wilson Mosiac Leaves. This beautiful crinkle ribbon is Mint from the 2016 Spring Bundle.


This beautiful crinkle ribbon is Peach, also from the 2016 Spring Bundle. Hello is from Paper Smooches. A Tim Holtz


Now it's your turn!! Head on over to DL.ART to see the amazing projects my design team sisters have created for today's challenge!! Then link up your summertime project!! I can't wait to see what you create :)

  9. Wow Lisa, I just love visiting your blog first thing in the morning! It's such a pick me up and a great way to start the day! These are absolutely breathtaking! Those colours just make me drool, peach and mint green, wowzers! You have such a knack for doing floral arrangements on cards and your shabby ribbon always fits in perfectly with your theme and design! Lots of beautiful layers and I adore the little nautical elements peeking out. Balmy Breeze, that collection is going on my wish list for sure! You are a great source of inspiration my friend, have a wonderful day. hugs :)
