Nana Donna's Card Dreams: Beachy Keen

This week for the "Free for all Friday" challenge at Stamp TV the theme was Lazy Days of Summer...........a clean & simple card with a summer theme. No markers, pencils anything to color the image is allowed. So here is what I came up with.

A couple of years ago I bought a set of four crazy Flamingo stamps with saying, although I love them I had not used them yet. When I had to do a summer themed card this "bathing beauty" was perfect. I stamped in with Raspberry ink and torn the edges then mounted in onto raspberry paper. The white background is Cored'inations pearl texture cardstock.

Here is a closer look at her so you can see all the details of her sandals and bikini, yes she has a bikini on. The saying off to the side saus "beachy keen", not sure if you could read that in the picture.

Thanks for taking the time to leave me a comment. I love to read them, besides that way I knew you were here to take a peak.

And don't forget to check out my Blogaversary/Birthday giveaway. First post on my blog.
