Well, summer is finally here in Texas that's for sure!! Cheri one of the Rock Star Designers from Repeat Impressions has challenged us to make a project that uses Summer Images - something that we would see in the summer.

These stamps bring back memories of the ice cream truck that came around our neighborhood.  Ice cream treats were 27 cents.  We would hear him coming and scream that we were going to miss him - there were times we had to chase him down, but he always stopped for us kids!

Repeat Impressions Designers Choice Challenge

Today Janice, one of the Rock Star Designers from Repeat Impressions has challenged us to make a project that has fur, fin or feathers -- sounds like fun, doesn't it?  Repeat Impressions has so many stamps that would be right on target for that challenge!  Here is mine:

The background paper was created with a technique that used watercolors (like a child's inexpensive set) then while it is wet, you sprinkle table salt on it -- really took on dramatic effects!  The darker the color the better - This one I used a turquoise paint and when I added the salt, it looked like water - that's why I chose this image called "Under the Sea", colored it with some copics, added some little rhinestones, cut it out with a spellbinders die and back that onto a piece of black cardstock.

Here is the list of Rock Stars who made projects to inspire you.  Take a look, leave a comment, then make a card and link it on Wendy's blog, The House That Stamps Built and perhaps you will be the random name that will receive a nice gift certificate from Repeat Impressions.
