Hi! Happy Summer!



Hi friends!

and HELLO summer!  
School is officially out and this is such a glorious time of year ...
The good 'ol days of summer.


Yesterday (and today - at 1 am!)
 I had a fun crafter-noon with uninterupted card making
after I dropped my son off at a  ....... yep, pool party!
And just in time, my new Pink and Main stamps arrived to play with ♥
These sending waves cuties are such a delight ...
the minute I spied them, I said let's make a pool party ~ on paper! :)





Here's how I made this trio of friends card:
I really wanted the look of a pool with a thick white border 
so I taped off the 4 sides of the cardstock,
 then sponged out different shades of blue distress ink and oxide ink
in Broken China and Evergreen Bough.
Once that was finished, 
I stamped and colored the 3 friends from the stamp set,
alternating different colors of skin and hair,
and arranged them around the pool.
I had another spontaneous idea while creating this card,
so in the end I didn't add the sunshine but put a sentiment in it's place!
A few clear and aqua color sequins and this pool party 
is ready to begin!
Because summer looks good on you!  :)


If you want to peek back again,
you'll see more of this Pink and Main stamp set soon ~
it's my next stamp set in my 3/3 series ♥

 I've been playing along with the Kathy Racoosin's 
#thedailymarker30 day and already we're up to day 10 ~ woohoo!
I'll enter this into her coloring challenge here.

Big hugs, bigger blessings ♥
