I'm using the Flourishes Home Tweet Home stamp set. I hung the birdhouses on my wall/fence and stamped a branch.
I wanted to try this technique of direct to paper and make an ocean whitewashed faux wall. Lydia aka Understand Blue has a tutorial for this technique on Splitcoaststampers...see Resources.
This is a quick post as I'm being carried shopping by a friend for my birthday to a wonderful scrapbook store and probably hitting Michael's, Hobby Lobby, and Jo-Ann's today. Lunch, also. What a fun day ahead.
I'm entering my card in this challenge: Crafting for All Seasons Challenge Blog #3-Summer-what summer means to you. Summer means being at the beach to me, although this doesn't show the ocean, I want it to be an outside fence or wall at the beach where I hang my birdhouses for the summer.
