Out to Sea

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

My friend Bobby is hosting the current Just Us Girls Challenge and
as usual, I'm almost too late to join in.  But I think I can make it.


Here's Bobby's challenge...


Bobby's card gave me inspiration for this card.  I die cut and left the die in the
cut paper and used the die as a stencil to color it.

I wonder if it's cool at the beach?

I used blending brushes to add color to the pieces and carefully added glue to
get it mounted to another piece of cardstock.

I chose to make a sunrise scene.  Or it could be sunset.

Check out Bobby's card and the rest of the Design Team.
There's still a few hours to join in at


and sharing with  The Four Seasons August

Thanks for being inspired by my card and joining me at Just Us Girls, Bonnie. What a wonderful die and it was so creative of you to use the die as a stencil. I love that you added a sunset too.

Oh, this is beautiful, Bonnie! I love that you used the die for the stencil because this die is amazing! Love what you've done with it, and it definitely will honor Bobby in her challenge.

Bonnie... great card and love how it was inspired. The tips of the wings are perfect! AND NO, it is not cool at the beach. It is stifling. I am right on the water and still feel like melting. Today the heat index will be 112. We have all been marveling at the heat all over the US and Europe... but those of us who are usually warm have been over 100 every day for months. I am so glad I don't live in Arizona... not sure I could do it. Great card...so glad you are in the JUGS gallery! Stay cool! We will all be complaining come January.

Now this is what I call fun! You see the movement, your feel the movement and the colors are spot on.

There's a PB die I haven't seen before, and what a beautiful card you created with it! The die made the perfect stencil. Beautifully done, Bonnie! ps: I hope it cools off for you soon. I would melt in your heat.

WOW! I love the blaze of the setting sun over the sea, because to me, it's the ultimate sunset. You captured that sunset moment beautifully. A beautiful card, perfect for the end of summer.
