Ahh the weekend! What a lovely day we had here yesterday! It was in the 80’s and Sunny! I went for a ride with Stephanie in the convertible in the afternoon and hung out with her and Sophie for a while. We played Kid’s Monopoly, that’s a fun little game! I ran a few errands and then Andrew stopped by and so did Jim. We had a nice evening and today Jim and I are headed to New Hope, PA for the day! Just to do something different and get out of New York! Should be a really fun day! I’ll try to remember to take some pictures! đ
My post for today is for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches challenge…
I dug out and oldie but goodie! My card base is Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock. To create my background I used the Hero Arts Waves Stencil and my Stencil Brush to apply Some Tide Pool Ink to a piece of Solar White 80lb. I trimmed it to match the sketch and adhered it to the card. My goldfish, from the Hero Arts Color Layering Goldfish Photopolymer Stamp Set, is stamped in Light Ruby to Royal Red Ombre Ink for the second layer and the first layer is then stamped in Versa-Mark and heat embossed in Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder. After I cut him out with the Coordinating Frame Cuts I adhered him to the card with 3M Foam Tape. The greeting is from the Hero Arts Hello Gorgeous Photopolymer Stamp Set and is stamped in Black right under my fish. All that was left to do was to add a few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins! I still love that goldfish and the stencil brush makes inking the background easy! I hope that you like my card for this week’s Freshly Made Sketches Challenge! Thank you for stopping by! Have a sensational Saturday! đ

How is it possible that I don’t own a “carpe diem” stamp??? Thank-you so much for bringing this to my attention! You have done a good service today. đ
LOL! As soon as I saw that set I needed it just for that stamp! I’m happy to help out Annie! đ
That Goldfish set is one of my favorites! I love the double stamping, especially now that I have the Misti. I think the results are fabulous and your card today is a great example!
Hope you have a wonderful day today on your trip to PA. I think you should have come to Maine instead but hey, that’s just my opinion! LOL You couldn’t have picked more perfect weather to go on a little excursion. Have fun and do take photos. Love & Hugs to you my friend. XXOO đ
Thank you Grace! It’s one of my faves too!
The trip to PA was fun! It was nice to get out of New York for the day! If Maine was closer I would have definitely come! It was a great day with the top down all day! Love and hugs to you! XOXO đ
Love the card!
Thank you Cindy! đ
Cute! I love this set , it is awesome in so many different colors.
90’s today, so loving it! Yep, I spent the day indoors with my BFF scrapbooking. Had a great time. 40 photos done and put in albums. And good conversation.
Thank Linda! It is a fun set!
Yes, I’m loving the weather too! Glad that you got some more scrapbooking done! The company is always the best part! đ

Thanks so much Jen! Have a great week! đ
