Hi cardmakers and friends! Switching it up completely today with a Summer birthday card. When I saw this Waffle Flower Sandy Toes stamp set I HAD to have it cuz it’s so much like our kids boating and swimming. Then I saw Channin’s video using this set and I was thrilled with her card and wanted to sit down and make it right away! I didn’t have the paints she used at the time and used Oxide inks instead. Excuse to go shopping, which I did, but then life happened and I just finally finished this up with the sentiments and gluing it together yesterday. Thank you so much Channin!
How triumphant this flippin’ flip flop guy is that it’s Summer! (I don’t like hot and humid, so just send me pictures of the fun, thank you! lol)
I painted the characters with Zig Clean Color Brush markers on watercolor paper. Contrary to most that love painting on Bristol with these, I prefer coldpress watercolor paper, figures huh. lol
Such fun… this card just makes a person celebrate living, you know! I’m trying to learn…Summer is a state of mind. haha hehe
This is an A2 size card and will be a very belated birthday card.
Linking up below to what I used and thanks so much for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of this fleeting Summer! I feel like the year is dashing by at warp speed, whatever that is! Where’s the time to feel the sand between your toes, I gotta make cards! haha

This card is a real fun card love the colouring you did on it. Christine
So cute and perfect-especially on this really HOT day!!
What a fun whimsy summer card – I personally don’t like the sand between my toes but…that is just a personal thing. Give me the flip flops in a nice air conditioned craft room. Great job.
Wow, the most fun stamps for summer cards! Had to go look, of course. It doesn’t even have to be for a kid ’cause, after all, summer is a state of mind and so is youthfulness. What a blast to color! The scene is very beachy, and those expressions — oh, my gosh! I’m not good with hot, either, and humid is even worse. Your cold press paper looks very smooth. Do I need Zigs? I keep wondering.
OH my goodness!! That is seriously a CUTE card!! Those little boys running on the beach are adorable! I love your background too! Fabulous! And yes, can’t take the heat and humidity here either. Send me photos too! haha!
Super fun scene Pam!
This is such a FUN and HAPPY card and I can soooo relate!!!
This is how I feel when I am at the beach but can’t run like that anymore, LOL! Such a fun scene!
What a cute card! I want my toes in the sand! LOL! That’s going to happen in about 41 days! But who’s counting! LOL! 🙂 A MUCH needed vacation!
Ha ha ha….this is so much fun! I love summer, and dread the upcoming winter. I freeze all the time these days! What a fun card, and I’m thrilled that you’re coloring again! I’ve missed that a lot! Take care…hugs!
