Seize the Birthday - All About Summer

Hello friends.  It is time for another challenge at Seize the Birthday and this time Colleen would like us to make summer birthday cards.

FF#001 Festive Friday Faves
ETA:  Yes, my card was chosen as one of the FESTIVE FAVES at Festive Friday.
For my card I first sponged the background with Crumb Cake ink for the sand and Salty Ocean DOI for the water.  I tape off the sky line and sponged the clouds with MFT Clouds stencil and Bashful Blue ink.  I had masked off the spot for the sun which I colored with a yellow marker and drew sun rays.  I thought it needed the sun to match the sentiment.  The girl and sentiment are from MFT Drink Up the Sunshine.  I stamped her in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copics and cut her out with the matching dies, but trimmed the white edges closer.  I added the white dots to her suit and headband with a white gel pen.   The tree and beach ball are from MFT Penguins in Paradise and colored with Copics.  I mounted the  tree and ball with foam tape.  The sentiment and girl are glued  to the card front.

I will link my card at Festive Friday Challenge - First Day of Summer (I have chosen sun, summer sports (swimming) and patterns - I added spots on her swimsuit and head band)


and to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Make Your Own Background.


Check out all our fun summer cards by my teammates and our guest designer over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope you join us in this fun challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn
