We live in a great location where we can get to the beach or the mountains in an hour or 2. We hadn't camped at the beach for several years & we were ready for some cooler temperatures. The weather was great--mostly sun & clouds without too much wind & it only rained one night & morning. Hubby wanted Fritz to experience the ocean & sand so we went to an area where there's a bay resulting in smaller waves. As you can see, Fritz had a ball trying to figure out the waves!  |

After Fritz went to bed last night, I made this simple little card for the PTI Blog Hop. My sweet friend Robin gave me this beautiful die cut & the little wooden bird. They worked perfectly for my take on the inspiration photo. The flowers from Tag-Its #3 were white embossed, colored with a Copic marker & embellished with tiny pearls. I used my trusty white gel pen to add the dots. The die cut is popped up on the dry embossed card front. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday. Lots of laundry, so I better get to it since I work the weekend. Enjoy the hop & thanks for taking time to visit my blog.
Gorgeous card Greta. Fritz certainky looked like he was having fun. Beach holidays are always so fun
ReplyDeleteGreta this is just THE SWEETEST little card! I adore those tiny Tag Its flowers, one of my fave set! Fritz looks like he is having the time of his life LOL! What a great shot of him leaping through the water!!! My silly little Max would be afraid of the waves. I can't believe how many noises scare the little guy. The older he gets, the more there are ~ poor little fella :( He needs a good outing with Fritz to brave up a bit!

ReplyDeleteLovely card Greta. I was trying to think of a floral image to replicate the small flowers in the inspiration image, but didn't look at the Tag-It's. What a nice friend to give you that die cut and bird! Nice detail with the white gel pen too. Your Fritz looks as if he is having a grand time the water. (PS: After 34 years, I decided to retire early this year...no more weekends for me :)
