Lawnscaping Challenge #85: Summer Color Combo

07/7/2014

Summer in New England | shurkus.com

Hello! It is definitely summer in full swing here in New England! Chris and I have spent many times at the beach. The ocean is warming up ( 65 degrees so far) we have been grilling, I have flip flops on and I am a happy girl!
Lawnscaping Challenge #85 Summer Color Combo

For this Lawnscaping Challenge we have a color combo for you, a SUMMER color combo! I promise I didn’t pick these colors, but aren’t they just perfect? With colors like this I just HAD to create a summery card. I wanted to do a quick and simple card to remind me (and you 😉 ) that it doesn’t need to be a complicated card. Especially in the summer when we want to spend more time outside and enjoying LIFE… you can still make a wicked cute card for a friend. I stamped, colored and diecut out the fun little seashells etc from the new Lawn Fawn Life is Good set. Then I cut 4 1×1 teal squares from some teal cardstock I found in my scrap drawer. Once I arranged the squares and sea bits I added some distress stickles to jazz them up. I then stamped the sentiment and with glossy accents adhered a few stickles. After seeing the card when it was dry I felt it needed a little something more so I tied some of the gold lawn trimmings around the spine of the card.
