Waterside Retreat, Phrases & Frames, Thinking of You Card, Stampin' Up!

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I have a quick and easy thinking of you card to share with you.  Please read on to see how it was made.

The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the bottom and the fold was on the top.

I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Balmy Blue card stock for the large layer. 

Using one of the images on a sheet in the "Waterside Resort" 12" x 12" package, I trimmed it to 3-3/4" x 5" and I taped it to the Balmy Blue layer.  Then that was taped to the front of the card.

Now came some fussy cutting. I love the full sheet of bikes and it's too bad I didn't have a die for them but I don't really mind fussy cutting. SO I picked out a bike I liked on the sheet and cut it out. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the lower left side of the card. Right in the sand!

Next I did a little searching my current sets for the words. I found these in the "Phrases & Frames" bundle and they were stamped using Basic Black ink on a scrap piece of Basic White card stock. I didn't like how bright it was so I toned it down a bit by taking the belly of the light Balmy Blue Blends pen and added a bit of color to the edge. Dimensionals were added to the back and it was set in place on the upper right area of the card. And that was it, the card was done.

My plan for today's post was to make a quick and easy card because I'm in the middle of making a hooded cowl or is it called a cowl neck snood? Either way, I'm working on it and if I get it done tomorrow, I will post a pic of it on here.  I need to get a dozen of them done for the fall craft fairs.  

Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's thinking of you card,
Wanda
