Hello-
We have another beautiful just into the 70's day. A little breezy and perfect for open windows.
Both Festive Friday Challenge and Cupcake Inspirations led me to make this card using Stampin Up's Sending Sunshine stamp set. I like these watercolor-y scene building stamps and I have several. They are my go to's for man cards. This one is for a gal though, hence the bits of bling.
I used Altenew Inks to make the card. And that card base is Tempting Turquoise from SU...its probably not a current color but I had a brand new pack. I picked blues green sunshine water and clean and simple from the Festive Friday List. I can imagine that little bear enjoying a sunset under that palm tree as he looks out to the water.
Thanks so very much for visiting.
ETA: I am also entering at Double Trouble - Summer Theme. Thank you Suzanne for letting me know.

What a serene scene, Cat - makes you want to take a trip, doesn't it?!!
Fun set and the card goes perfectly with those challenges!
Love your card... great watercoloring of your scene on the banner and the bright blue background papers really makes your scene pop. I don't do too much watercolor stamping and even bought some stamps to use; you have inspired me to get it out of my stash and work with it. Don't forget Double Trouble is partnering with Cupcake Inspirations and would love you to check us out and share your pretty card with us for the summer theme, you don't need the speech bubble to participate. https://doubletroublechallenge.blogspot.com/
Your beautiful sunset has just transported me to the tropics! Thanks, Cat, it's a beauty
Your clean and simple design is perfect for the little scene you made, looks so inviting! Thank you for playing along with us at Festive Friday.
Sweet sunny scene, Cat. We have been having cold mornings and sunny warmer afternoons on the Oregon coast:-) Even getting out to do some Spring clean up projects. Love Springtime with all the beautiful new leaves and blooms. TFS your sweet card. Love and Hugs..Nancy
This is absolutely beautiful. A really peaceful design. Thank you for joining us at Cupcake Inspirations - Charlotte/Lady Joyful, DT
You immediately long for the sea.
So peaceful, and calming, Cat. Love that setting sun - oh it could be rising instead - guess it would depend on the birthday! Either way, so beautiful!

What an awesome card Cat and you are the 2nd person in this past week that has brought that SU! set to my attention and I never noticed it before, but now I think I need it!! Haha!! Love the tempting turquoise with your stamped scene...makes me want to sail away!! Although we've had beautiful weather in the mid 70's and sunshine the past few days, so maybe I'll just stick around here for a bit longer! :0)
I am jealous of your nice weather, still freezing here. love your little beach scene, it has momentarily warmed me up, perfect xx
Beautiful scene and such a pretty card and yes I can image the 'bear' under the tree too Cat x.
Oh, my gosh, beautiful! You made me go look up the stamp set which I've never seen before. Amazing! I have a drawer full of SU cardstock that's probably retired. It still works!
Gentle, peaceful and so serene, Cat ... what a gorgeous scene ... just my sort of place! Love how the sun is setting so beautifully into the ocean! Hugs, Anita :)
Cat I just love this scene. Your water and the sun reflecting off of it, well done!
How clever to build a scene on that flag--love it!
That scene is gorgeous! The watercoloring is absolutely perfect. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)
Beautiful serene scene you created! BTW I love Tempting Turquoise and I too have a stash of that color. Thank you for playing along with the Festive Friday Challenge!
That is such a beautiful, serene scene you created. Thank you so much for playing along Cupcake inspirations - Anila
