Flourishes Timeless Tuesday: Summer Fun!


Good morning fellow Flourishes followers! How is your summer so far? My daughter's school starts in a month, so we are going to enjoy it while we can!
This week's hostess is Makiko and she is challenging us to create: A Summer Card or Project. Super simple and easy :)


 I've been thinking about how to use Flourishes stamps to try to create pieces of art work. So this week I decided to use Flourishes "Life's a Beach", which is perfect for this challenge. I wanted the look of a vacation postcard from Hawaii in the 1940's, so I went with a really heavy color saturation.
I used Flourishes "Life's A Beach" set that I masked and stamped onto a  2 1/2x3 mini canvas. I sponged some "Scattered Straw", "Wild Honey" and "Dried Marigold" Distress Ink on it for the colors of the sunset. Then I colored the rest in with the following Copic Sketch Marker Collections:
