Love this colour combo so I tried to put together a quick card. We're hoping to head out for a few days camping tomorrow - the rain and wind kept us from hitching up today - so if we actually get away I may not get another chance to create anything this week.
I even took up the challenge of the 'dessert option' which was to do Christmas in July or some sort of winter theme. Given that we've had about the equivalent of a week or two of semi-decent summer weather since we got home from a warm weather holiday two months ago, I found it VERY difficult to think of S**W and/or W*NT*R but I managed to do it!
My Not Quite Navy ink pad decided to "blow its lid" as I was putting it away. Of course, even though it was the first ever full size SU ink pad I ever bought, it is still the juiciest. What a mess! I will have blue fingers for several days. That's what I get for thinking about W*NT*R in July! Saved the card from getting covered in ink which was a miracle in itself.
PT: Just the one die cut and 2 punches with my slot punch.

Very pretty use of this lovely image in the NQN ink. Love the Dazzles on the roof, and your nestie and seam binding combo are just gorgeous. I guess S**W is a four letter word!
