BANANA SPLIT SUNDAY



I am honored and so pleased to be asked to be a guest designer for 2RedBananas. I created this card using a new set that will be available July 15th. It is called July Journaling Spot and I LOVE it. We just recently moved closer to the ocean and I find so much inspiration at the beach. I created this scene with Baja Breeze and Creamy Caramel inks. I embossed the image panel with Chocolate Chip Craft ink and clear embossing powder. I used my distress stripes embossing folder for the back panel. This sentiment has got to be one of my favorites.




Here is the sketch we were to use. I left off the embellishments and added the seashells at the bottom instead.

Come join in the fun over at the 2RedBanana's blog.

Very cool Dawn! I love the beach too! I miss it... in Maine we were less than 4 miles from the best beach... and only 10 minutes to Kennebunkport, one of my all time favorite places to be! This is beautifully done and I love the sentiment! Love the sketch too... really looks like a real frame! Congrats again on the 2RB DT!
