Simon Says: Summer Memories

Hello Crafty Friends,

Here I am with a card for the

Simon Monday Challenge Blog

where the challenge is

Summer Memories.

Well here in the Netherlands it is a heatwave at the moment

and i need to drink lots and lots. Iced tea keeps me going

especially the strawbery & lime frozen iced tea by

Starbucks. What is your favorite flavour this Summer?

For my card I used stencils , clear stamps , organza ribbon and

a leaf die.

I started making the background with  the Sunray stencil by 

Funky Fossil Design. On a seperate piece of paper I made the coffee cup

with the Coffee Cup stencil by Funky Fossil Design. The disign on the

sleeve is the Leafy Mandala stencil that I have been playing with the past week.

I found some dies by Tim Holtz that look very much like the leaves

from the Leafy Mandala stencil and are perfect for decoration.

The sentiment is from Verve Stamps from my stash 

(her shop is unfortunately closed). The bees are from the clear set 

the Bees Knees from Funky Fossil Design. These are colored with

Stampin'Blends and a drop of glossy accent on the wings.

Thank you for looking,

stay safe and

keep crafting.
