First - what is summer without a field of flowers?! This is the Wildflower Background.

There are so many ways to go with this. What about a blended background? You could go very soft and beautifully bold. What about watercoloring it? All would be gorgeous. I pulled out my trust Copics. I got the flowers colored in and then decided I wanted to keep it warm so didn't add any green in the leaves.

I gave it a good sprinkling of sequins for that sun sparkle that fields of flowers have in the morning then topped it with a glittery butterfly. I pulled out the wildly popular Simple Strips Background and Simple Strips Die to create two sentiments that coordinate.

I understand that most people's idea of a beach vacation is bright sun and big umbrellas. My best ocean-side vacations have been slightly off-season on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. It's quiet and relatively cool. Still warm enough to play in the water - but so incredibly peaceful. Thtat's what I had in mind when I used Build a Background - Waves Stamp & Die Combo.

The water and sand, plus the details on both come from the set. I used the Here Comes the Sun Stencil to add the sky.

I do love my scene, but there is so much more to do with this set. It comes with a couple of extra dies to cut the waves. I used the full wave and the splash stamps on this card. Then there's also a die to cut a slit into the waves. With all of that - be very sure you check out the rest of the design team's cards starting with the TE blog. When you see the brand new mermaid tail from the Be a Mermaid die set waving out of the waves you'll know just how amazing this entire set is.
It's time - the store is open!!
