Private Island Getaway

For the NEW digi post featuring Gardening Granny go HERE

Sending a happy Hi to everyone visiting today!

I am soooooooooo bored! It is too hot to do anything. I have curtains pulled to block out the heat. My daughter and I have been playing with polly pockets (and drinking coffee and eating cookies :D) while Daddy and little man have been playing video games. While all that is good... I feel like the day has been wasted. 

we are off to see another free christian concert at the boardwalk tonight. Sidewalk Profits will be there tonight :). We really love their songs.

Now that I had bored you to death, lol!!! ;)

I will share my card with you. 

Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamps

Sunbathing Beach Babe

Palm Tree

and

Inspirations Paints: Fairy Dust

This one was SO much fun to make. I used my favorite diecuts again :D

The MFT die-namics cloud  and the waves. I actually used the waves as a stencil this go round, so it was different :D that is good right? I stamped my Sunbathing Beach Babe Fresh Brewed Designs rubber stamp down first, then I stamped her another time, cut her and masked her off so I could stamp the palm tree 'behind' her. I drew in the sand and, voila, a private little island getaway :D

This image was so large, I did not use any detailed patterned paper because it would have been covered up anyway. I did use some leftover Martha Stewart dot paper to create the little tabs at the top and bottom of the framed image and some pink dot paper from k*i memories Juicy Summer. The sentiment comes from a clear stamp set by Dear Lizzy - American Craft. I stamped my FBD stamps with momento ink, colored them with Prismacolor markers and made them shimmer with Fairy Dust inspirations paint. There is even shimmer in the palm tree :)

I created this card for the Papercraft Star Challenge: Color theme and summer

(PS, they are having a Design team call right now! I LOVE PCS and know that you all do too, so why not try out for their team. If I had time, I know I would!! :)
They are so talented there... I know wouldn't make it ;) lol!!! Way out of my league IMHO!!! 

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed your visit and that this card makes you imagine you are on your own private beach somewhere :D

HUGS and SMILES and Happy Summer Days!
