Holy smokes has it been HOT! Too hot too fast for the beginning of summer, in my opinion. So, while the hubs took a well earned nap, I put together this little number for the Seize the Birthday challenge. Cathy has added silhouettes as the optional topping and I knew just what I wanted to use. Take a look...
This enchanting little boat by Lavinia (Liberty) has Bibi floating away as he plays his flute. They were stamped on an ink blended panel, colored with Copics then accented with the flowers and stars. The MB sentiment was not cooperating with being photographed. It does say happy birthday, in case you can't make it out!
Simple, sweet and perfect for one of our many family summer birthdays! Thanks so much for spending a little time with me today. I sure do appreciate it when you stop by!

ReplyDeleteHow cute is this Card! That image is just so unique well done
ReplyDeleteIt's been super hot here in Michigan too Lisa, but it does make for good crafting time! Your card is fabulous and I am in love with this little Lavinia stamp ...from your ink blended background to your sweet silhouette of Bibi in his boat, this card just couldn't be any sweeter! Beautifully done my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteOMG adorable, I have that boat and now want to pull it out and play ♥
ReplyDeleteOh, Lisa! This is as charming as any card I've seen using one of those Lavinia images!
ReplyDeleteHere's how I look at this heat: before long we'll be complaining about the cold and snow!

You made good use of your hubby's nap time. Something that I do too. Enchanting is the best word for this card as it is impressive and brings thoughts of quiet sailing on water with the lilting sounds of music. Alluring card with the topping for this challenge. Thanks for linking up to Seize the Birthday Challenge.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting card, Lisa! I love everything about it - the background and colors are perfect for the imagery. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet scene, Lisa! I love the soft background colors and the sweet Bibi playing the flute as he/she floats in the river! I love the flowers growing on the shore too!
ReplyDeleteHe's sweet as can be! What an adorable image, a perfect Birthday card
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet and charming. I love it! Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteYour softly inked background highlights that delightful image beautifully, Lisa.
ReplyDeleteAwww, this is the sweetest thing, Lisa, and what a perfect choice for the silhouette topping! You did such a beautiful job with it. I haven't used my Lavinia stamps in quite a while. That's what happens when there is so much NBUS. Guess I can't complain.
ReplyDeleteOkay - girl - I just love this card! It is so cute and so well made! It is a struggle with our cameras sometimes - but I can see the sentiment. (I was doing some editing and had a bit of trouble with my comment section - so here is my comment again oops!)

ReplyDeleteI've always adored this tiny, flute playing mouse. Tucked inside his button boat, it is just too adorable!
ReplyDeleteAww,-dorable and talented Bibi playing his flute! Such a sweet scene.
ReplyDeleteOh what a darling card, Lisa! We've had some hot days, too, but at least we don't have your humidity.
ReplyDeleteLisa, I think your soft colors is what made this card come to life. It is so peaceful to look at and so well executed. Thanks for linking up at Seize the Birthday.
ReplyDeleteEnchanting is the perfect descriptor for your dreamy card. Love it.
