Also, this month we have a challenge for you over on our NEW Facebook group (not the Facebook page) using the same Summer & Sunshine theme, go join now and let's see your summery entries :)
But back to my hop post... If you have arrived here from the lovely Imke, you are in the right place, if not, why don’t you start at the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything. The full hop list is there too.
Here is my card using an image from Sea Turtle Beach...
This is a great Summer themed set, which includes three images... sea turtles, beach bucket, and the sea turtles with the beach bucket, and you also get three bonus sentiments. A bargain!
I've coloured this image with promarkers.
The patterned paper is from a collection called Hello Sunshine by Sweet Shoppe Designs and it's FREE! ;)
The 'sand' is actually a piece of sticky back carpet that my daughter had spare from her dolls house.
The sentiment is by TLC Creations.
I made the sun by using a flower from Die-namics Flower & Leaf Trio die set, and then punched a circle for the centre.
I finished the card with blue organza ribbon and a few tiny shells that I (luckily) found in my stash, just wish I could remember where I got them from! lol
