I have given up any vague hope that we might actually EVER get any sun in the UK so have decided to make my own little sandy beach!!
I found this cute stamp set (ladybug Crafts Ink...now gone) while having a bit of a tidy up and as there are so many Summer inspired challenges around thought I would ink it up. I finally unwrapped the Marianne die set that contains the photo frame and coloured the image with Promarkers to match the Doodlebug Designs paper. The card is a diddy four inch square for a change.

Hi Sarah! Such a wonderful, bright, cheery card! The die and paper couldn't be more perfect. t'm soooooo glad you shared it with us at Whimsie Doodles challenge this month!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card Sarah! Small but perfectly formed with the fab stamping and lovely paper. That photo die is now on my wish list. Love the glitter on the flip flops. My hubby has just ordered my eldest son some flip flops in size 14! If he doesn't like them we can use them as surf boards :D. Debra x

Hi Sarah,
ReplyDeleteoh I do love this fab card.
That stamped image is perfect, and it's coloured perfectly too.
I can't believe it's only 4" square, and it must have been so fiddly to make. LOL.
Enjoy your wonderful evening out.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
