Hello, dear friends!
I want to wish you a happy summer time! It is the time to relax and enjoy the sun, warm wind and long days. So my card for today is very clean and simple, light and fresh.
 I created the background, using texture paste with stencil. While the paste was wet, I sprinkled it with WS111 Cha Cha Cha and heat set.



 For the shaker element I used a printed out word summer, stamped word Happy from 
Just Saying (by Marion Emberson) - Clear Stamp Set and added some background stamping with tiny circles from Hearts & Twine (by Marion Emberson) - Clear Stamp Set. Then I filled the shaker with some acrylic drops, microbeads and my favourite Sparkles, of course! Here I used SPRK005 Santorini SPARKLES and SPRK002 Celebration SPARKLES.
Also I splashed white paint to add more interest and life to the card. I used the following Wow! products:

I use a piece of scap paper and apply Hansa Yellow Medium. I'm pressing the tag onto my page immediately. The result are some grungy green areas.


I repeat this step with Quinacridone Burnt Orange.


I use a black Faber-Castell Oil Pastel to draw a frame arround my page. I also add some ochre tones with an Oil Pastel.


Now it's time for some BLING! The new WOW! Sparkles are awesome giltters. I used DecoArt Media Gel Medium to add Santorini Glitter in some areas. I also used a black acrylic fineliner to make some more marks.


I add some texture with the script from the new stamp set "Wall Art".
I finish my page by adding my focal point: The bird on a branch. I …
