I think everyone will miss the Owl Punch! I know I will. So I thought I'd dress my owls up ready for the beach .... or maybe they'll go with me to Hawaii! I'm sure Ashley wouldn't mind having them visit for a few days. the "happy birthday" sentiment is from Watercolor Words - a good selection of sentiments plus I love the font! The DSP is from Party Animal in the Occasions catalog.
My next card uses Grateful Bunch and the coordinating Blossom Punch which punches 3 flowers at once. I love the convenience of using a punch. Don't get me wrong - I like the thinlits too but at Club, it is much easier to just pass the punch around instead of waiting in line for the Big Shot and thinlits. I love this color combination of Sahara Sand, Very Vanilla and Blushing Bride. I think this is the first time I used the lace trim stamp from the set!
This card is my favorite this month! For the small panel, I sponged Pool Party at the top and Crumb Cake at the bottom, blending the two together in the middle. Then I used Gorgeous Grunge (oh, how I will miss this stamp set!!!) and stamped it is Versamark ink in the middle. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Does it give you the impression of the frothy white of the waves? The background of the main card is made with the Marbeling Technique - using shaving cream! I have not done this technique in probably 10 years so decided to revisit it and teach it to my club gals. I stamped the starfish (Picture Perfect stamp set) with Crushed Curry and Soft Suede ink onto Crumb Cake card stock. After adhering it with dimensionals, I painted clear Wink of Stella on it.
Last but not least is our May calendar page. I actually copied this from a calendar page my sister made for me! Made it a little easier. I stamped the set from Flourishing Phrases with VersaMark onto Vanilla card stock and heat embossed it with Copper powder. The stamp set is not retiring but the card stock and ribbon I used are retired.
