Happy Tuesday everyone!!! It's time for another Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday challenge!
This week's challenge is All About Summer ~ FTTC176 and comes from the talented Makiko. We want to see a card/project featuring something summery. For my card today, I thought the two children jumping in the water was an appropriate image to convey summertime. It's one of my favourite memories as a child.
Make a Splash
For my creation this week, I created a shaker card. I first stamped my image from the Sweet Days of Summer stamp collection in Memento in Rich Cocoa on Flourishes Classic Ivory cardstock. I inked the back ground using Ranger Distress inks; Shabby Shudders & Peacock Feathers. I die cut an offset frame and then backed it with a piece of acetate. I added a ring of foam adhesive and then dumped in a combination of blue embossing powder and fine clear glitter to make my fake water. I adhered the delicate ribbon, Sage Green Satin Pleats, to back of the circle before adhering it to the card front.
Here are some of my embellishment details...
I used one of the pretty tags from the Birthday Pennants stamp collection. I added a few colourful touches with Ranger Distress markers.
Just below my sentiment I wanted to add another touch of glitter so I laid down a 1/8 inch wide Scor Tape and then adhered some fine clear glitter.

Love the cool shaker idea (I still haven't ever made one of these...I should!) and that tag with the flower and twine is SOOOOOO beautiful!
