Summertime

When I typed my title, music popped into my head.  It has a tendency to do that.  There's Summertime and the livin' is easy, or Summertime, summertime, sum sum summertime.  Or how about In the good old summertime?  No I'm not THAT old, I just know the song.  lol

There were a couple of summer time challenges I decided to enter, plus a sketch from Die Cuttin Divas  that brought it all together.




Nothing says summer like sand between your toes, bright colored beach towels and flip flops.  I put them all together into this one card.  The flip flops are cut from Life is a Beach as are the tiny star fish.  The two different sand papers  (notice that's two separate words - * wink*) have their edges roughed up a little before inking.  The straps on the shoes were embossed with UTEE and I used a water paper for the bottom layer.  Everything is popped up on foam tape.

I'm also entering this into My Sheri Crafts' Summer Loving challenge and Paper Players #98 Summertime.
