Soaking Up Some Sunshine

Hello.
I hope you're enjoying the long weekend.
Today's card feels very fitting for the lovely weather we're having right now!
A group of sunbathers, stretched out on their towels, making the most of every bit of sunshine.


This was fun to put together, but boy, are those die cuts tiny!
I started off by making up all those sunbathers in their swimwear. Then attached them to their towels.
For the frame I used a 3d embossing folder, because it made me think of the tiles around the pool.


Challenge


I'm missing the sentiment, cos I just couldn't decide what to use.

Bullseye Birthday Wishes

Hello.
Today I'm sharing this cute, straight shooter with you.


I made this fox with lots of little die cuts, then I added his backpack - obviously full of the good snacks! - his bow and arrow, and the target.

Yes, the target is floating a bit... but we're ignoring that because I wanted to stick to a cleaner background, and it was too cute not to use.

Tiny Tipples and Bubbly Vibes

Hello.

Has anyone seen my mojo?
It seems to have deserted me.

I tried to jump start some creativity with the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge,
but I never really got into the groove with this one.


I switched out the squares, for hexagons and tried to keep it bright and cheerful.
My little critters were stamped and coloured with copics.


Challenge


  • clearly besotted - tiny tipples
  • pinkfresh studio - simply hexagons
  • copic markers

Wild About Relaxing

Hello.

Well, I blew my budget last month, because I couldn't resist the 'Trailside Trio' from Spellbinders.
It comes with a fox, a raccoon and a skunk.

Here is the first outing for Mr Fox.


Mr Fox is die cut, and put together with the 'splash days' set that includes his clothing, fishing rod, oar and canoe.

I've chosen bold, bright colours for his day in the sun.


Challenge


Do you Prefer Brights, Or Pastels?

This year I have definitely gone for a more 'brights' look to my cards.
For ages I used coloured card from cheap, high street stores, but
I've recently invested in some good cardstock from Concord & 9th
and I love how the colours match up and really pop.
