Summertime means more traveling that usual at the Lelli house!
I won't bore you with all the million travel pics we took but I will share two:
One of the beaches my dh and I traveled to:
where I sat under this umbrella reading books and drinking rum punch all day!
and this pic of our dessert one night where I swore the chocolate embellie looked exactly like a stencil! LOL! It was a YUMMY stencil, TFS!
Here is a card I'm entering at The Mixed Media Card Challenge where you are supposed to
incorporate a touch of nature in your project,
and the color challenge at colourQ where you use black and white and any of the following colors:
I made a birthday card for my niece who is turning 30!
I just used what was on my desk that I hadn't put away from other projects and it all just came together! Lots of stencils, TH Distress Paints, TH Distress inks, TH Resist paper and a felt leaf that I die cut ages ago! The felt adds texture without making it too bulky to mail.
Did I tell you I am IN LOVE with these Dina Wakely Scribbly Bird stamps!
Well that's it for me!
Hope you like it!
Have a GREAT rest of your week!

Hello Miss Sue, it looks gorgeous under your umbrella and that desert is a work of art and yummy I bet.I;m in love with those sweet birds too, but that background you created is FABULOUSSSSS. I always use watered gesso over the book pages, but I really love it just plain, I'll have to try that, thanks for sharing Sweet Woman..
I really like your sense of space when you use the mixed media images. This is an excellent example. Wonderful card and the bird is perfect for that limb too!
Super fun card! Love the bird and all the textures! Thanks for playing along with The Mixed Media Card Challenge!
