Summer Fun in Water & Sun!

If the title of my post got your interest... it should! Today the Impression Obsession gals are ushering in a fun new challenge -- Summer Fun and they are showing off some brand new stamps that were just released TODAY to showcase this challenge!

On to my creation and a darling new clear stamp set from IO by Claudia Tenorio-Pearl! You can see all the NEW stamps by clicking HERE. This one is called Jill (CS376) and is a darlin' little gal on the beach....

This card is pretty simple -- just a 5-1/2" square with layers to fit inside. The little pennants on the side are actually from a Spellbinders Die called Nested Pennants. I used a range of decorative papers (from Glitz' Happy Travels collection) to make them all stand out. You can see I used one of the sentiments from this little clear set -- "Oh Happy Day!" on one of the pennants and then, threaded through some baker's twine in a bright red. Add some stitching and a button and... ta da! 

Here's a close up-- I colored my image with these Copic Markers: R20, R29, E31, E33, E55, E57, BG72, BG70, BG11, BG000, BG0000, RV52, RV00, C00, C03, C05, E50, and YR0000. You can also see that I added a bit of sparkle to the sand with the help of some Stickles Diamond glitter. 

 And... here's a closeup showing that little sentie tag!
