This week's Teapot Tuesday is all about summer fun and camping. When we camp in the summer, we go to the lake. This is Tickle A Teapotter week, which means challenge participants can sign up to send their cards to each other. It's loads of fun, come try it.
When we camp in the summer, we go to the lake. The image is Purple Onion, colored in pencils. Glossy accents on the lemonade glass. Button is die-cut from paper that coordinates with the other two print strips. Sketch is from Sketch Saturday blog.

Lovely summery colours, Sandy. It's funny, I don't think of swimming or even sitting by the lakes here - too cold. But when we were over in the West at the start of the month there were a couple of scorching hot sunny days, and when we went to one lake we both felt we could have been in Greece!
I love the slightly distressed look to your papers - as if they had faded in the summer sun. And the lemonade with the gloss on looks - well, good enough to drink.

Oh Sandy, this is exactly what is needed after a long hot day working in the kitchen. Love the soft colours. We worked 12 to 14 hours a day preparing meals for anywhere from 80 to 180 kids so we were more than ready for a little relaxation. Thanks for participating. TFS

Loving this! Perfect CAS with the right amount of coloring! I overdo the coloring a lot....takes real restraint to make it balance and you did just that! Love it!
