Welcome to the Grand Vacation Achievers hop for March. This month we are providing a sneak peek at products that will be available from the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog starting June 1.
You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog (Chris Slogar) or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects.
I am thinking of my fellow Grand Vacation Achievers as they travel to Spain this week to begin a fabulous week-long cruise around the Mediterranean. This reward trip only comes as compensation for a year of hard work. I also earned this trip, but quite happily chose to stay home to celebrate my daughter’s high school graduation on Tuesday 🙂
My card is inspired by the thought of sunny seas, and I am using “Swirly Bird” and the coordinating Swirly Scribbles Thinlits. The greeting is from “Thoughtful Banners”.
“Swirly Bird” is a fun set to build scenes with, and it is also so useful when you need random scribbles and lines. I used a 3 3/4″ square of designer paper from the It’s My Party designer paper collection and a Crushed Curry card base behind my scene.
The orange on this card is Tangelo Twist. I am saying a sad farewell to this color, my favorite of our oranges. I used it over our new Peekaboo Peach for the sun and also for the mat behind the scene which measures 3 1/2″ x 4 1/2″.
The Whisper White measures 3 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. I sponged Dapper Denim onto the lower portion of the card over a mask of vellum.
I cut the vellum with the same thinlit as the waves, and just used the top edge for sponging as shown.
I attached the Dapper Denim waves after the scene was completely stamped and mounted on the Tangelo Twist mat. I then cut the excess length of waves just beyond the Tangelo Twist mat.
This is a set with a lot of potential, and I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek. Best wishes for sunny skies and smooth sailing to the demos enjoying our reward trip!
