Happy August!! Wow, where are the days going?? A new month means a new month-long linky party at DL.ART. As always, the monthly challenges are Anything Goes. If you use the code l01210, you'll get 10% off your purchase at DL.ART.
I was dreaming of an ocean vacation when I created these cards :) The papers are from an old K&Company Happy Trails stack. I used a Tim Holtz Bubbles stencil and Texture paste to add a bit of dimension to the background.
The next layer is a piece of corrugated cardboard from DCWV's Corrugated Neutrals stack over some cheesecloth to represent netting.
The tree is from LaLa Land. I cut the fronds twice for dimension. The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. This gorgeous crinkle ribbon is Peach from the 2016 Spring Bundle.
This beautiful crinkle ribbon is Green Hue from Mermaid's Tale Third Edition. The My Creative Stitched Leaves dies and Memory Box Chloe Stems were cut in white burlap. In order for the burlap to not fray, I covered the back with clear packaging tape. The waves are a Make a Splash die from My Creative Time. The banner is a Taylored Expressions Banner Stacklet 1 die. The sentiment is from My Craft Spot (no longer in business).
The Adirondack Chair is from Die-Versions. I wanted it to have a weathered, by-the-sea look, so I cut it in grungeboard and then covered it in beige acrylic paint. Using the Andy Skinner method, after it dried, I coated it with DecoArt Weathered Wood and then DecoArt Crackle Paste. Once it had cracked and dried, I rubbed DecoArt Media Antiquing Cream in Raw Umber to highlight the cracks.
I'm linking this up with the following challenges:
1) Frilly & Funky - By the Sea
2) Little Scrap Pieces - Show if Off Saturday
3) Jo's Scrap Shack Funday Friday - Anything Goes
4) Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge -Anything Goes
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 Anything Goes projects. I can't wait to see what you create :)

Oooh, I've been anticipating this all weekend Lisa my friend, and, as usual, you don't disappoint! Those little beach chairs are so adorable with their crackle finish (just like they would if they were out in the sunshine a lot) and the gauze conjures up visions of discarded fishing nets! I LOVE both colour schemes, they are fresh and light! Thank you for painting a 3D work of art again! Have a wonderful week my friend! Hazel xx

Beautiful summer cards. I love the aged beach chairs and the way you used the cheese cloth as a net. And your bows are always gorgeous.
How nice to have a chair with backdrop of sunset and near the beach .WOnderful cards ,I loved both :)
Love them both, they are so inviting and soothing.
These are AWESOME, Lisa! Love your ocean-side cards! The chair looks amazing with the crackle finish you've added - you've got all the cool products and you know how to use them! Love, love, love your stylized palm tree! The flowers and ribbon look amazing too! Gorgeous cards, my friend!
Both are so very pretty! I love the crackle on the chair...it looks real now! The scene is just beautiful too!!! Hugs, Robin
Such fabulous texture and dimension. Love the leaves and the chloe stems from the burlap and the corrugated paper and cheese cloth. Just amazing.
Lisa these cards are both so gorgeous! I love all the layers, the La La palm tree is very nice! I love what you did to the chair, it looks so loved and weathered! Awesome job on both!
Oooooo, these are so beautiful Lisa! I love the colors and all of the layers. The distress crackle chairs look spot on since that is exactly what the salt air does to things in Florida.

I know I'd have a happy day sitting in the comfy looking lawn chair! So beautiful. Love the one in blue and yellow!

Hi Lisa, I saw these cards on DL.Art, had to come over and get a closer look. I did not know that you could buy corrugated cardboard. I always just save some from packaging. I will have to look into that. I love the dimensional look of this card. I especially love the chair! It makes me feel like summer!
Hugs,
Chriss
Two spectacularly designed creations Lisa, I love how you have crackled the wooden seat, the colours, embellishments are all beautiful

Holy cow Lisa, I am loving these cards!! What an amazing design with that incredible lawn chair with the amazing texture, and the corrugated cardboard backing! Cheesecloth and burlap and so much texture, love it!! These colours are so incredible. I love the fiery hot summer day colours, but I think I could melt right into your cool and refreshing underwater palette. Those blues and greens and yellows, oh my!! Amazing my friend, so much detail and I love it all!! Hope you had a lovely weekend. hugs :)
Thanks for joining our Fun-Day Friday Challenge @ Jo’s Scrap Shack.
Goodness! LOVE your textured layers!
Both versions of your card is absolutely beautiful! LOVE them both. Thanks for playing along Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge. Gayatri xx
Wow... Lisa! Your summery cards are really gorgeous. The design is stunning and I love the super chair and the waves detail. The color combo is fabulous too! Totally wonderful!!!
Hugs, Mar
Wow are these fabulous Lisa!! I love the crackled chair, looks great like an old one at the beach. The waves in the background, corrugated paper and the colors are sooo cool together, these are real winners my friend :)
Beautiful cards and so dreamy! It makes me wish I could pull up one of those chairs on the beach and sip on a cold one, lol! Especially after a day of 85 degrees and high humidity!
I just love your layers, papers and the amazing chair die! The crackling effect looks amazing! As always, you nailed it! Where do you come up with these amazing designs and where do you find the time??! I would love to find a little more time to craft, but these little ones have stolen my heart and I just can't get enough of them, hehe! I am hoping this fall I can get Arya a little more into crafts and have a couple craft days with her and maybe that would help?
Hope you have a wonderful day~it is raining right now~thunderstorms in the forecast for today and then clearing out with temps in the high 80's~
Hugs,

I could just sit there all day and hear the waves roll in. The first thing I noticed was how weathered the chair was. You did an awesome job on these cards.
so colourful and love the vibrancy of them!

Your cards are absolutely amazing! I totally love that fun chair and the distressed look of it! The TH bubbles stencil with the texture paste adds so much dimension to the background of your card, I just love it! The entire scene is just fabulous!
Beautiful! Love that you created the same sweet card in to different colors / patterns and they both are fabulous. Thanks for playing along with us in the "By the Sea" challenge at Frilly and Funkie!
Oh my Lisa, the textures on these cards are just fabulous!

Love these cards. Sitting at the beach is so soothing and the chairs with their lovely texture are just the ticket. In my part of Canada, we call those Muskoka chairs - same design, different name. Thanks for joing us at Frilly and Funkie.
Hugs!
