Fun At the Beach

Good morning and welcome to a brand new challenge at Cardz4Guyz. Today we start the first of the new MONTHLY challenges and it is my turn to choose the theme. Bearing in mind that schools here will soon be breaking for the school holidays, I thought I would choose the theme of:-

SUMMER HOLIDAYS

As we are both now retired it seems like we are on holiday all the time but those of you with kids will either be looking forward to the next few weeks or dreading it!! As a kid and when ours were little, it was always a beach holiday, a week in the sun, or more likely rain if it was in this country! Here's my card based on the theme.

I've used this cute little chap a few times, he's on old rubber stamp from Paper Pretties, now no longer in business. 

For my design, I inked the corner of a white A6 base card with Tea Dye and Salty Ocean DIs and stamped the image onto a scrap of Copic friendly card before colouring him in with said Copics. After fussy cutting him out, I returned to the background, adding some sea foam with an embossing pen and white EP and a sentiment from a magazine. The little chap was then added over the top with some glue, simples.

So you have the whole month to think up an idea and join in, there's also plenty of inspiration over at the Cardz4Guyz blog too. 

Looking forward to seeing you in the gallery.
