Hi All, enjoying your summer?
It's been pretty darn hot here but I am NOT complaining,
much better then snow/cold!!
Our challenge at Back To Basics and Beyond is to make
a simple 'step card'.
I used a video HERE for mine.
Since it is summer, I decided to go with a fun summer card.
I had a lot of fun making this card and it was very simple!
I had a piece of watercolor paper that I was messing around with
Nuvo Shimmer Mist Nebula Blue
quite awhile back and it actually is what started this card.
I used a wave die and cut it from that paper,
and it worked out pretty good, all nice and shimmery,
just like waves are!
I also added six sail boats to the step parts on the waves....
My lighthouse die fit perfectly on the front panel
and of course what is a lighthouse without seagulls?
We would love to have you join us at
Back To Basics and Beyond.....

to inspire YOU!

Wow! Gorgeous card, Diane! I love all the time and effort placed into putting tiny die cut pieces together like that! Wonderful waves with white capes, and beautiful summery colors! hugs, de
Fabulous card, love your scene very summery, long may this good weather last
Oh, WOW, this is amazing!! Really fabulous background pieces you made, and all the dies fit perfectly for the step card. I have some step cards a friend cut and sent for me to decorate, but I don't seem to have good ideas for them. This is awesome. I do love those little sailboats. You asked about bugs. We aren't usually bothered too much by them, probably because it's not too warm here. I saw a couple of dead mosquitoes in the house yesterday, and a giant mosquito dragon flying around. I told Rich the mosquito dragon wasn't doing his job. Or maybe he is, or else we'd see more mosquitoes.
Whata fantastic stepper card, My boys Grandad would love this card having been in the navy as a lad. Hazelx
Oh wow, this is so amazing, Diane!! I love the nautical details!! The lighthouse is gorgeous!! The waves are fabulous!! And I love the sailboats, too!! This makes me want to be at the beach right now!! I love it!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)
