Happy Birthday, SYS Day 1

OK, I am not sure how everyone else is doing it but I can hardly find time to craft this summer.  I am completely enjoying my time with the kids so I am not in the least bit complaining!  I am taking the Stretch your Stamps online card class and finally made this card for day 1...we are on day 5 as of today!  

I used the embossed resist technique and then inked the background with distressed ink.


Hope everyone is having an amazing summer, creating lots of memories to cherish for a lifetime! :)
