It's so hot here I just want to grab my intertube and head to the beach

...remember those days? I definitely chilled out  designing this card and really enjoyed all the coloring. If you aren't into coloring you can stamp on card stock and get beautiful results as well. I just have to share with you something special. Click on this link HERE and wait for the graphics...what do you see? Oh my....I am so excited :)

You can see the set I used in my last post and notice the card I made with this very hat on the girl.

 I cut the hat in half to give it lots of death. Glossy Accents in matt are on the soles of the flip flops which looks really cool in person and GA are on the flowers, glasses and lemonade.
I hope you are having a good week. Hugs,Kathy

but, first a commercial break..hee...I just have to show you a card first from my new love..PENNY BLACK.

and the close up so you can see the cutting of the hair, glossy accents on the flower and flutterfly.

In case you are wondering this little scene is on the beach at dusk with a big harvest moon in the background. I created it for Cards challenge here.

Here is the side view so you can see the dimension. This adorable hat is from this set

Available here and here is the set I used with the hedgehog. I trimmed the hat down to make it fit better on the  critter and cut off the lemonade ...that was hard to do cause I love it on the hat.
(my next post will be with this same set) there is so many way you can use all these stamps.

I stole the little guy from the flower and put the hat on him. I am going to send this to my daughter at camp. These little critter are so quick and easy to color. The Copics I used are YR0000,E30,E31,E33, and for the cheeks RV000.
