So are your kids out for summer yet? My son does not get out until the 21st...crazy! It will feel like a lot of summer is gone by then...although that is the first day of summer technically...so I guess we won't miss anything then!
How about a little summer inspiration? Summer inspiration in the form of a Paper Makeup Stamps Blog Hop! Sounds like fun, right? You should be arriving from the ever sweet, Lisa M. If not, make sure you start at the beginning at the PMS Blog.
This card is a Clean and Simple (CAS) card based on a sketch from a Paper Crafts call. Why is it that CAS cards can be the most time consuming?! I had to create this card like three times before it turned out. That hurt too because it is obviously a one layer card...so I threw away a whole card each time...ugh! Anyway it uses the still-awesome-always-going-to-love-it Dandy Wishes set from PMS. The large and small silhouettes were embossed in black with my edges masked with Post-It notes. Then I brayered ink over top, removed the masks, stamped my sentiment,and drew the black border. Wow that made it sound so easy...guess easier said than done!
Well now you are off to the ever talented Tangii. If you happen to get lost along the way, you can follow the link list below:

Wow that is a great card! I guess it is easier said than done; but it came out just right!
Okay, as if all the trouble you went to masking wasn't cool enough, that brayered background is totally eye-catching!!

Hi Andrea! Love your blog - just signed up to follow! Your card is gorgeous - will have to try that :) I also found an Elmo card on SCS that you did a while back. Would you have any objections to me CASEing it for a 2 year old's birthday invitation? I'd be happy to link back to you when I post on my blog in a couple of weeks. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
