I have this little peace of creativity for you:
I used some images from comfy to create a beach scene and used one of the tiny sentiments to stamp a background pattern. I found some really old summer-stickers in my stash thet work perfectly with those images and colors, so I added them.
You know I love dimension, So I added dimensional adhesive to the stamped background-panel, doe the swim ring and the umbrella. The swim ring also got a coat of glossy accents because I wanted to make it more real and make it look like it's wet. I has a blast coloring those images, but they'd also be perfect for paper piecing.



I also have a second card - same set, same image - different style. This one is for the Keep it Simple challenge (Take A bow)




These are your stops on the hop:

Good luck, have fun!
