Summer
Summer by Linda Albrecht |

Nothing says summer like the colors red, white, and blue and it's a perfect way to showcase fun water photos or dress up your next outdoor meal. I was able to use red and dark blue ink to make unique borders and circle images. By layering the circle images with colored cardstock, brads, and decorative-edged scissors, I created embellishments that are unlike the pre-made pieces that you buy. You can use the stamps over and over with different colors of ink and techniques to utilize several different images that mix together perfectly and make your projects uniquely your own.
