Summer Time!

Can't believe we already leave tomorrow! Last night I packed some more and made the bed in our 4Runner. Here's where we will be sleeping for the next couple weeks:

It's going to be comfy I think! Just have to be careful not to bonk our heads when we get up in the morning :P


I really wanted to play along the Mojo sketch this week and when Colour Q came out with a fabulous colour combo and Pink Elephant with the perfect theme, I knew exactly how I was going to piece my card together.

"Summer Time Theme"

 

I used Basic Gray in place of Going Gray and Pool Party in place of Soft Sky. I love this colour combo together! For the summer time theme, I wanted to do something 'beachy' since I'm heading down to the California beaches. So, I made a punch art bikini! The fun part is it looks very similar to a bikini I own! Here's how it turned out:

 

 

I thought this would make a perfect birthday card for someone who love the beach. The Island Indigo strip of cardstock is embossed with polka dots and three silver brads are added to embellish the card. I created the bikini with a full heart punch and trimmed it a bit. Bakers twine is added for the bikini strings.

 

 

 



As always thanks for stopping by! And I appreciate all those who take the time to leave comments - they are always encouraging and fun to read! :)
