Make a Wish, and Vacation Photos!

I warned you all that July would be a spotty bloggy month! Hubs and I got back from our anniversary trip to the Catskills, which was lovely, and now my parents are here visiting me! Woohoo! I'll be posting some pictures at the end of this :)


Yesterday brought us a brand new Unity {Be Inspired} Challenge! Which also means there's a new sentiment kit, and it's my favorite one yet. I'm also linking up with Unity Friend with Flair!Make a Wish


To create the card, I first paired up this beautiful 'Make a wish and set it free' with a blowing dandelion. I die cut the image with the Lawn Fawn Journal die and then blended Distress Inks to match the color challenge. The distress inks used are Tumbled Glass, Dusty Concord, Mustard Seed, and Dried Marigold. I added water drops for the fun bokeh look. Lastly, I drew over the sentiment with Stickles and added glitter around the dandelion.



Now some pictures from our trip!

Have a beautiful weekend. I'm headed to Maine!

    I like how you stamped the background on the white paper and added the water drops for that effects. I had no idea what it was. Now I know, let me go drop some water now!! Awesome photos too - you lucky vacationing girl!
