Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
We are firmly entrenched in the hot summertime. Here's where I'd
like to be.
Maybe not as I write this. There's a tropical storm headed out way so those
ocean breezes might be a little too stiff.
I made a bunch of these cards for last month's swap with my Craft Group.
There are a LOT of pieces to die cut and put together!
I cut all those pieces from cardstock and patterned paper scraps.
The background was brushed on and the sun is a punched circle with ink added
around the edges. The sand is torn paper with acrylic paint along the edges
for foam along the shore and breaking waves.
Challenges:
Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. - Week 1 is Ink (in the background)
Just Us Girls #782 - Use Summer Things Dies
The Four Seasons - Summer

I love the scene you created, such summery colours too. Great dies. x
Looks like a great place to be. Love the scene you created Bonnie and nice colors.
It feels pretty tropical on our beach, Bonnie.. you're welcome to spread that beach towel here anytime!
OH, this is just fantastic! LOve her suit!

Gorgeous scene, Bonnie, so real and relaxing -- what a place to be (minus the storm)!
The sun and sea look like a good place to be, Bonnie, and your lovely sunbather agrees.
I just love your blue patterned paers and the soft beachy look. You've created the ultimate beach scene. I love this die set and now I want to get it out and use it before summer is over. Thanks for playing with us at Just Us Girls this week!
Papers
That beach looks so inviting! Love the papers you used for the swimsuit and the tote bag. The water and sand look so realistic! A great card.
Looks like an awesome place to be and I wouldn't mind a body like hers either! Definitely a wonderful Summer scene you created Bonnie and I sure hope the storm stays away!! Hugs. :0)
By the sea, by the sea, by the beautiful sea! I feel the ocean breeze as we speak. Wait a minute, I live near the ocean, no wonder I can feel the breezes! I love this card - I love the way you did her bathing suit - really creative. The ocean looks so cool and wavy. But I have to say, I feel the heat coming from the sun!!

What a lovely beach scene. All those little dies might be fiddly, but they are well worth the effort xx
WOW! Brilliant card, my dear Bonnie. I love every detail of this summery, seaside scene, the girl's swimsuit is a real height of creation. It looks like it came from an expensive fashion house. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration

Hello, sweet Bonnie. What an absolutely fantastic Summer card. I love this scene and the wonderful beachy colors you've used here. It's awesome, and we thank you for sharing it with us at The Four Seasons. You're a faithful participant, and we appreciate you very much.
Oh what a lovely scene, Bonnie. The time and effort it took is definitely worth it.
What a fun scene, and worth all the time you spent die cutting & gluing those tiny pieces! It's even been too hot for the beach in Western New York as well. We are, luckily, not in the path of any storms.
You know I love putting all those little parts together, but a bunch is quite a task! So cute, though! I love her coordinating suit and bag. This set always looks like lots of fun! Your background is pretty fabulous and realistic. I hope you did not get hit with any bad weather. The news about the storms and flooding is very distressing.
I want to be where she is! Golly this is just fabulous, Bonnie, what a great scene you've created! Thanks for playing along at Just Us Girls!
I'd like to be there, too, Bon! If you're going to be hot (triple digits here today), you might as well be by the water. I'm in love with this fun bathing beauty die with necessities and you've given her a wonderful impending sunset view! Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking in the gallery to motivate others!📌Hugs, Dolly
Such a relaxing scene, Bonnie! I bought that sunbather when Spellbinders had a clearance sale but so far, I've just used the flip flops! Maybe I'll pull it out just before fall ; )
Oh Bonnie, that is a beautiful card - I'd be there in a blink, but the figure I cut wouldn't be quite so elegant :).
Blessings
Maxine
