I have 3 projects to share with you today.



I've created a fun beach themed card using, Summer Fun Fhiona.  I just love her tiny little bikini.  :)  She comes with a few accessory stamps and a sentiment as well.  I've used DP from Fancy Pants - Beach Babe and some of sparkly rhinestone gems.  I created an ocean background for her by coloring sand and sea with my Copic markers and sponged the sky with chalk ink.  I even attempted to give her a bit of a tan along with a pink nose and cheeks too...she might need to reapply her sunscreen huh?


And for those of you who might have missed my Sneak Peek of Flamingo Fred late last week, here he is again.  ( I have used one of the two fun sentiments that are included with the image.)  This card was also created with DP from Fancy Pants - Beach Babe.


And as a secret surprise!!!  I have the pleasure of introducing to you Mini Chompy!!  Isn't he ADORABLE?!?!  So many of you have fallen in love with this little guy that he his now available as a mini stamp.  Perfect for all of those smaller projects.  I thought he'd look great on a corner bookmark which I created using DP from October Afternoon's, Schoolhouse.  (Shhh... the sentiment you see is an Early Sneak Peek at June's YNS release.)



You've got one more stop before your finished with the hop and that's Karen's blog.  But please don't forget to leave me a comment before you go!!



Thanks so much for hopping with us today, and I hope you are enjoying the new release!!

  18. Delightful colouring on her little bikini which as you say is such fun. I like the texture of her hair & those gem "bubbles." Amazing effect with the surf board & those papers. And yes Mr Chompy is great fun & I love that border along the bottom.
