What better way to start the summer then to see a wonderful sunset on the beach. I had the feeling of warm sand in my toes when I was creating this card.
For the first part of this card I used blending brushes of blue and brown and then used a circle and blended some pink and yellow together to make the sunset. I then stamped the water and grass and the birds and die cut the gate. The sentiment could go for just about anyone “relax and enjoy your day.”

I thought this card would be good for someone who is going through a rough time in their life or even a sympathy card.
I tried staying with neutral colors of browns for this card. The card base is dark brown and the strips on the front are 1 inch by 3 and 1 inch by 4. I used off white for the inside and stamped a sentiment with enough room for a personal message.

If you are a card-maker or scrap booker you probably have a ton of scraps. I had just that, a ton of scraps, so I went about trying to reduce that amount of scraps by making this card.
I first cut all the scraps to 3/4 of an inch. For the next step I had to figure out how I wanted the scraps to look on the front of the card. I chose four different patterned pieces and started to arrange them like a pinwheel trying to keep the colors in a cohesive pattern. I then stamped the birthday sentiment on a large circle to be the focal point of the card and die cut a circle frame around the sentiment. For the inside I used another sentiment and added some leftover scraps at the bottom.
