Today is a wonderful day to celebrate with family and friends and maybe have a little picnic in the park, so I decided to showcase the picnic basket image from the new Inspired By Summer set from MFT.
I kept the layout on this card super simple, frankly, because every embellishment I tried to add really just detracted from the cute little scene. Sometimes less really is more! LOL!! The plaid paper is from the Doodlebug Nifty Notions collection. I used my sunshine die-namic to cut out the sun from Lemon Drop cardstock and added some tiny white clouds using the new You Move Me die-namics.
On the inside I stamped the tree image from Inspired by Summer and added the sentiment in black ink.
