July Fourth at the Marina

Good morning!
It's a little before 6:00 a.m. and I don't have church until 9:00 but I had to get up and let the dog out anyway so decided to get a jump on the day. The only problem is I could easily sleep in, you know?  I'm hoping for blue skies today. I'm weary of the rain. Enough of my whining!

Here's today's card. I played with some Summer catty stamps this weekend along with some Sneak Peek colors! The base card on this is the new Marina Mist color of blue. I love it! The WW card stock on top of it I ran through the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder (#117335) which was sold in the Occasions Mini Catalog. It will be carried over into the new catalog so don't worry if you haven't gotten it yet.

The other colors are Cajun Craze (the rusty red color) and Daffodil Delight.(the yellow color). These new core colors are amazing! I used the July Fourth stamp set (#118523 - wood mount; #120063- cling mount) in the Summer Mini catalog. I used Stampin' Write markers in those three colors (I LOVE that there are markers for all the colors in the new catalog!) and filled in the greeting stamp. I punched it out with the 1 1/4 inch Square punch (#104400) and matted it with Cajun Craze using the 1 3/8 inch Square punch (#103375) and raised the image with Stampin' Dimensionals (#104430).

I finished off the project by using a Mini Library Clip (#109857)  on the greeting and some Sneak Peek 1/8 inch Tafetta ribbon, which I tied crooked! Sorry about that!

I know you'll love the new colors, they're amazing! Let me know if you need a new catalog ordered. I have only a couple left in this shipment!

God bless and have a great sunny Sunday!
Much love and joy,
