Retro Summer Card

Today we are sharing a beautiful (and simple) summer card by Samantha featuring our Retro Sun & Palms Stencil Set

If you know Samantha's work you know she loves beautiful bright colors but on this card she chose a more muted color palette to fit the retro theme and it is truly gorgeous!  The Retro Sun & Palms Stencil Set includes two pieces. The first piece has the big circle for the sun and the second piece includes trees and seagulls. The two pieces layer perfectly together for a fun summer scene. Samantha started with a kraft cardstock base and then stenciled the sun with lines through it, carefully blending the colors across the image.

Then she used the second stencil and added trees with white texture paste and glitter! So pretty!

The gulls were added in the upper corner using black ink. To finish it off she added the sentiment from the Seashell Roundabout Stamp Set, stamped and embossed onto a vellum banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set.

What a fun retro card! Plus, we love simple this card is to create. The stencils complete the scene and then you just need to add a sentiment.
