Here's another card I made for the Gina K release party the other night. This designer paper from the Lynden Collection of Scenic Route reminds me of some cabanna fabric don't you think? I couldn't help but use it as the background and the inspiration for this striped umbrella. I colored this image with my Copic markers, but I'm already looking forward to aquapainting this image the next time I've got a little stamping time on my hands!
This set is the "You Are My Sunshine" the current One Free with Three promotion over at Gina K. What an amazing set to get for FREE if you're already purchasing three other stamps from Gina K. Be sure to check out the gallery on Gina's site to see some of the other fun samples whipped up by the design team. My personal favorite is Julie Korbers flip flop card, but as usual, they all rock! I've got to go get my toes all prettied up because I plan on wearing flip flops from Memorial Day through Labor Day! That is, if the weather here ever decides to cooperate. BRRRR!
Living in New England, we spend a lot of time on the beach in the summer. We're taking a whole week off to spend with the boys at my parents beach house this summer and I just can't wait. We'll celebrate my older son's birthday at the picnic on the beach, with fireworks and a concert and by the Boston Pops!
Of course, going to the beach with two young children is sort of a workout, and not so much lounging on the beach as it used to be, but I still can't wait!
