dreams of summer

Welcome to the last chance to enter
for this year. The final theme being a nice easy one
Anything Goes
and this will last for two weeks.
My take this week as we just start winter and the year comes to and end is to look forward to the weather getting nice and warm again. You can probably guess from that I don't like cold weather, the hotter the better for me. So this weeks card is a Stamps Happen stamp called Boat Scene.

The stamped image has been water coloured, just lightly to add a little bit of colour. Then I have used a second image to cut out the small square accents using a punch. This does not have to be a whole stamped image,  just enough to get the squares out of.

These squares have just a little light distressing around the edges, using Tim Holtz distress inks, to make them stand out a bit more from the back ground. The last bit of decoration is a few real tiny sea shells. And there we have the dream, summer will soon be here.

I have entered this card into the following challenges:

Make it Monday - Anything Goes
