A Bit of Sunshine

Some of you are still buried in snow, so thought I'd bring a little sunshine in your life today.  We're not exactly warm enough here in Texas for this type of activity, but it's coming soon - hopefully!

The stamp set I used is from Newton's Nook and is called Newton's Summer Vacation.  For my one layer card I stamped the image and then the waves.  I sponged in some very light sky and added the little birds (from Newton's Nook Flirty Flamingos).  I added some Wink of Stella on the inner tube and then Glossy Accents. 

I'd like to enter this in the Inky Paws challenge at Newton's Nook - one layer.

After completing the above card I decided to make another one - same design with a different image.  I don't think this one is quiet as one layer though since I popped it up on the base card and added sequins.  Besides that, the twine got a little squirrely looking in the photo!    I still think it's cute though and will be a nice birthday card for someone.  I used stamps from Newton's Antics on this card.


Thanks for stopping by..........
Lynn

    Love them both. Can't wait till I can do some swimming or floating in some nice water. This card will make someone's day. Your second card is just purr-fectly darling. Love the little sequins and your twine look fine to me. Wishing you a purr-fect day.

    Ooh, so cute, Lynn. I love the first scene you created....liking those waves. And, the cat in the box is just adorable.
    I should have made a CAS card for a challenge today but worked a jigsaw puzzle instead. :-)

    OMGoodness, Lynn, these are soooo cute! I find one-layer cards so hard - yours looks amazing! Brian was here a minute ago looking at the screen and he asked if I made these cards LOL! I take it as a huge compliment! Both of your kitty cards are adorable!

    I'm so proud of you, Lynn -- two cards with images of "useless" Sassy Cats! lol Is Rambo jealous yet? Love the CAS single layer cards you do and am CASEing the style for more practice on my own CAS cards. Thanks for a bit of inspiration. You have the cats and I'm posting a single layer mouse later today. :-D

    WOW! Two super adorable cards! I love the sweet beach scene on the first card with the creative scene on just one layer! I love the pop of pink on the inner tube! The second card is adorable too - I bet our Newton would love that bright pink box! Thanks so much for playing along with our inky paws challenge!

    These are both totally adorable! Also, why, WHY does twine do that for the photo? It goes right back to normal as soon as you've realized your pics are all wonky.
