On The Beach

I think I'm having one of those weeks - the type that no matter how much you do, nothing seems to be achieved.  My to do list seems to be getting longer and the items are just not being crossed off as quick as I would like.  I don't think it helps knowing I've got a few busy weekends coming up with the boys (karting - what else?!) which means I won't get any crafting done at all.

Anyway!  At least looking at this card cheers me up!  I entered the monthly I Heart Sketches challenge last month and as it is a progressive challenge, I got the image emailed to me for the June challenge.  Hope you followed that!  And here it is!



I've only used one of the three images in the set and I didn't manage to use a sentiment as I couldn't work out where to put it so that it looked right.  The card was supposed to be a stepper but it went wrong so ended up being a normal one!

I've coloured the image with Promarkers and added foam pads behind it before adding it to the sky.  I made the bunting from some scraps on my table and then added the embriodery thread.  A bit of faux stitching down the side and its complete!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

I Heart Sketches Monthly Progressive:  Image used
Creative Moments:  Weather
Scrappers Delights:  S Is For (Sunshine, Sea, Sand, Shells)
Whimsical Designs:  Summertime Fun
Craftroom Challenge:  Here Comes The Summer
