Good morning stamping friends!!! I am excited to share a clean and simple card I made last night. It is my turn to be up on the Paper Issues blog, and I would love if you stopped by for a visit!!
I got inky and played along with some of my favourite challenges!!! I was inspired to make a summer card, because over at the Ribbon Carousel, they are looking for a summer themed project!! So that got me thinking about summer, and the fact that many of my teacher friends, including myself, will be celebrating the summer break very soon! Congratulations, teachers!
So I played along with the Cas-ual Fridays Crew again-creating a Congratulations card and I am also playing along with There She Goes Challenge, hosted by Kim O'Connell. She is asking for a CAS card. To create my stamped background, I placed all the "thongs" on my big, clear block and inked them up all at once...to create a background stamp of sorts. (My clear block is pretty dirty...think it needs a bath!)
Supplies Used:
Stamps: There She Goes & Hero Arts
Inks: Poppy Parade, Black
Papers: Doodlebug Fruit Stand, Poppy Parade, White
Extras: Twine
CONGRATS ON YOUR GALLERY IDOL TOP 20 SPOT!!!! Can't wait to see how far you get with your precious buckeroo!!! :0 :) :) :)
ReplyDeleteLOL That wasn't the thong I was expecting. ;) Cute card.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card. Great idea for a background, and I love your little rainbow strip.
ReplyDeleteFun card! Don't know if I am ready to get "my thong on". LOL!!
ReplyDeleteSuper bright, fun, colorful and HAPPY!
ReplyDeleteYour blog title intrigued me but I wasn't expecting what they now call flip flops. lol Great CAS card.
ReplyDeleteI think you should take your block swimming with your thongs! Fantastic card, Lesley!
ReplyDeletelove the subtle stamping on the background. super sweet card!
ReplyDeleteLOL! Have to agree with Casandra, not the thong I was thinking of, so glad to see your flip flop thongs instead!! :)
ReplyDeleteWonderfully fun card!
Lovely card! I love the subtle background you stamped! Thanks for joining in us this week at CAS-ual Fridays Challenge!
ReplyDeleteHa ha! The sentiment cracks me up. The flip flops in the background are cool, and I like the strip of fun patterned paper. Thanks for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteAnother great entry, Lesley! Too funny. And, best of luck to you tomorrow! Thanks for joining the fun at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteI beg your pardon! This choked me up for a second. I had forgotten that we called them thongs were I grew up. For the last 40 years where I live now, everyone calls them flip-flops. Your card is brilliant, Lesley, simply fun and simply brilliant!!
ReplyDeletelove the bit of rainbow paper peeking out! Such a cheerful card! Thanks for playing along with this week's There She Goes Challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove the tone-on-tone thongs and vibrant strip of striped DP along the left side of the card - what an impact! Thanks for playing along with TSG Lesley - hope you will join us for a new challenge tomorrow! And thanks for making us look so good with your lovely Gallery Idol competition cards - GOOD LUCK!
