Summer Smiles {Bramble Fox Stash Smash Challenge}

[ad] I love using up older supplies and combining them with newer stuff! Bramble Fox has a monthly Stash Smash challenge to encourage us to do just that! Here's what I made for this month's challenge, which was to use inks and paints.

Here are some details. I used a Perspextives from the June Fox Box on my page. I love the Fox Box! You get a nice assortment of Perspectives, plus some exclusive pieces.

Seriously! How fun are those sunglasses? For the challenge, I used watercolor in the background and lots of stamps so I could use ink. How fun is that little crab?! It's a stamp by Cocoa Daisy, and the bubbles came from the same set.

That cool clear sun is another Perspextive, from the Sunny Days set. The sailboat and starfish are from  the same Cocoa Daisy stamp set. The stamp that looks like fishnet is an old Kaisercraft background stamp. 

I decided since this was a stashbusting challenge that I should use old papers. The circles are from an ancient A2Z paper. The blue check is an old Scenic Route paper, and the red ledger paper is, I believe, Rusty Pickle. The wooden anchor is a piece I picked up at Michaels a couple of years ago.

Here's the challenge. You've got a few more days to play, for a chance to win a gift certificate to the Bramble Fox store. The topic is optional. So grab your inks and paint and get playing!
