So...to celebrate, I'm having a Fun in the Sun party! Wanna join me? Just leave me a comment telling me what you enjoy doing in the summertime! There just may be a SURPRISE hidden for you :)
Today I have a wonderful sunshine-filled card to show ya! This is an exclusive stamp in the Sweet Meets Sassy Collection by Victoria Case for SCACD called Just Chillin'. Can you feel the warmth of the sun yet?
I've colored this beach babe with copics: E35 E34 YR21 YR20; E11 E21 E00 R20; B18 B16 B14 B12. For her dramatic eyes, I've used Lavender atyou Spica pen, Plum Berry Smooch and a touch of Stardust Stickles! Also, I've added a drop of Diamond Glaze on each lense of her sunglasses, her eyes and luscious glass of lemonade - well... what did you think she was drinking? lol
She's all cozy, snuggled up in the warmth of the sand. Ahhhhhh... I remember that feeling! To create the warm sand, I've used Toffee Ultrafine Flowersoft. To create the soft sky background, I simply used BG000 in soft circles (I didn't even blend it *gasp!*) You can see the sky better in the close up above.
The umbrella is a print n cut image from Nitwit. I used a sticky strip for dimension and gave it two generous coats of Ice Crystal Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint. I LOVE this stuff! I also painted the blue swirls to give it some shimmer too. I also LOVE these rhinestone swirls! It's part of a larger swirl. The sets of 3 rhinestones came from the same swirl. Multi-purpose... YAY!Oooops... I almost forgot to tell you that this FABULOUS sketch came from the uber-talented Chelsea. I am ashamedly late posting this card for the CLP Sketch Challenge, but the good news is that you still have time to join in the fun for March!
I'm entering this card in the following challenge:
Bling It On - Anything Goes (option of charm)
If you haven't entered to win my mega CANDY, you can find it Here. Ends this Friday, March 25 at 11:59 PST.

I hope you've enjoyed my project and will come back often :) I appreciate all the lovely comments you leave. It makes my heart smile!!!
May God bless you, keep you and comfort your soul ~

This is the cutest card I've seen in a while!! I can feel summer is coming now!
That image is adorable and you've coloured her perfectly. Flowersoft makes a great looking sand!
Great layout and your embellishments are spot on! Way to go girl!!
summer is all year long in Malaysia.. so I tend to do gardening in my mom's garden and bringing my son for a walk in the park.
The gal on your card makes me want to go to the beach! I like to putter in the garden and pamper my flowers. Also like to take walks on a summer evening.

Just love your card.. so adorable. I can't wait for summer, especially since it's only in the thirties here today. I have extra time then to spend reading, crafting, and taking late evening walks.
What a sweet card you made!!! I like summer!!! Because summer - it's a summer!!! =)))
Beautiful card! Wonderful coloring! Love the layout!
In summer, I love playing outside with the kids and working in my flower beds!
This card is just stunning. I love the colouring with the copic markers....... very nice (I haven't actually used copic yet, but seeing this I am beginning to think that I might need to).
Absolutely beautiful.
Very beautiful card!
I like it.
Have a nice day,

This card is fabulous! We also have been getting lots of rain lately and a little sun would be wonderful. In the summer we usually try to go camping at least once...if not then we hit the beaches. And if we're really feeling energetic, we drive an hour or so and go lay on the beach by the ocean. What do you like to do in the summer?
This is a lovely summercard! I hardly can´t wait til I can sit in the sun and enjoy beachlife again.
We had some sunny days here this week and today it´s sunny and a blue sky, but still quite cold though.
Have a wonderful weekend! Hugs
What a nice card! I want to be that girl on the beach:)
Here in Sweden, the snow is melting, the sun is shining and the wind really strong and chilly... I really long for summer! Then I like to do some gardening, play with my children outside, take a ride with my red bike, and have som friends over for barbecue.
love the card and love the summer- that's a great card!
have a nice weekend

Of course I will try and win this lovely rhinestone.
Your card is so lovely.
Hope you have a nice weekend.
Love Elzie
Your card is magnificent!
OH....summertime...my favorite time of the year, when I can just lie on the beach reading a nice book, stay late to chat with friends, have loooong loong walk with my daughter in the seaside park or just sit and enjoy the sun rays, the blue sky and the wonderful weather. Most of all - enjoy myself.
Lori, your card is very pretty and so chick! I really like it, I can feel the summer sea breeze coming from it:-)
Hugs,
Geri
Another lovely & cute card! I love all the bling & sparkles. :)
Well, what i love doing in summer is hanging out by the pool, swimming & having a BBQ, and i love getting to wear cute comfy & cool (as in light & airy) little summer dresses. Oh, and most importantly, our rains come during summer/spring time and i LOOOOVE rain! :)
Tnx for the chance to win those lovely rhinestone swirls! :D
