Come and join us over at International Art and Soul for our theme of 'Pool Party'. This challenge theme was set by Debbie and believe me when I say this one was a BIG challenge for me.
My card blank is a 6x6 by Craft UK. The kingfisher coloured card is by Papermill and I embossed it with a Crafter's Companion embossalicious folder of dots. This was the base mat for my images. I struggled to think of any stamps or dies that would fit this theme and eventually had to resort to the internet. These are both copyright free images of pool parties. The colours seemed to tie in nicely with my base mat so I sized them and then set them at an angle. I used a Craft Box UK Snipart sentiment 'happy days' which I thought went nicely with the images. Before fixing it in place I coloured it with a Starlight paint in Banana Yellow by Imagination Crafts. It gives it a gentle shimmer which looks good. Thank goodness this card was finished and it didn't take long once I'd set my brain in gear. lol

Awesome Hazel, yep I am with you on this one, a big challenge for sure lol. I hunted through all my stamps and was so relieved when I found one that I could use for this theme. Guess it would have been easier if we had pool parties here in the UK on a regular basis but we have small gardens and rain instead hahahaha. xxxx
