Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Pacific Point, Tangerine Tango and Summer Sun. It also fits yesterday's CAS challenge to paper piece.
When I saw this color combo, all I could think of was the shirt my SIL and BIL brought Mark back from Hawaii! It is the loudest, most obnoxious shirt I have EVER seen! So, of course, Mark likes to wear it to family gatherings...not HIS family gatherings, MINE! So, all MY relatives think he's a Magnum, PI wantabee!LOL!
So, thoughts of that shirt lead to thoughts of clothes and that lead to thoughts of this cute set of clothes for Anya and Ian!
I colored the individual shorts, and individual shirts with Copic Markers and cut them out. I paper pieced them together. Since I wanted this to be a Clean And Simple card, there is LOTS of white space, only 4 layers, including the base and only ribbon as an embellishment!

What a fun card! I saw it in the CAS gallery, but was just flipping through quick and didn't stop to comment. Now that I'm snooping around in YOUR gallery, I thought I'd say... Totally adorable!

Whenever I see 'markie's mom' in the posting, I know I will see and interesting card. I really like the colours in this card, and of course the lots of white space. I think your scoring is a brilliant choice to add interest without adding more 'stuff'.
I randomly chose just a few cards to look at tonight because of time constraint. I'm glad this is one of them.
