    1. Would have photographed the card outside but it rained today here in Central TX. Aug is usually the hottest time of the Summer here but we have been lucky to have some cool days with rain as well.

    1. Hand tearing the sand scrapbook paper was the easy part of this. Splaterring/Spraying the ink was the hard part and when the rain stopped this morning I did that outside.

  3. Super fun summertime card, I love the use of the scrapbook sandpaper and have done that myself at times with the real thing, it just adds so much nice texture! Thank you for joining us at our Dies R us challenge.
