Imagine my delight when this arrived in my inbox:
Another reason to play with all those wonderful Alex Syberia Design products?? YES, please!
For their August 2023 Inspiration Challenge premier, ASD is asking for a shaker card - I have SO many shaker bits in my stash it's fun to put them to use. You might remember THIS card - I had all those darling images from the Underwater Wonders set all colored up and ready to play! I used all the colors from their beautiful prompt. I cut a circle and blended inks to indicate a sunset, and an ocean. Here's a closeup so you can see that the circle was then debossed with the ASD Mermaid's Melody cover plate:
A sweet duo of sentiments from ASD Sunkissed Memories and a sunny-snippet, finished my card, and it has already been tucked into an envelope!
Thanks, Alex for creating a challenge - you know how much I love to PLAY CARDS - and I may go in for a double-dip!
