Hot stuff...

Hi there.  Are you enjoying the lazy days of summer yet?  It's been quite hot here...much too warm for doing anything too strenuous...I guess that's where the saying comes from.  For all the sun aficionados, the beach is the place to be, but hat's not for me though....unless it's an ocean beach!


Here, I have used water colours and a stamp from the Art Impressions...Beach Babes set.  I've added a beach scene background and then cut it out with a Spellbinders die.

The flip flops and shell are also stamps, which I have coloured and cut out.  The striped paper is from my stash, and you will see that I've added a bit of doodling to make a border.

Although this card would be perfect for this time of year, I think I will save it for a birthday when it is cold and snowy.  Sure to be appreciated then..ha ha.
