This card has been rambling around my brain since Saturday...the IC inspiration is a site call Packaging of the world and Oops! Panties got me to thinking about StampOwls' fun template she did for a VSN long ago. That
was the springboard to my teeny tiny...
This card also hits the TLC432 Fringe challenge this week, thanks Dawn...I chose to use hand cut fringe at the top of the 'kini. And it is St Patricks' Day...a bit 'o green is in order don't you think??? I added a key to the edge of the garment as a reminder that to get into a teeny tiny polka dot bikini, one needs to apply exercise (well only if you're above the age of 22, I'd say). Biking helps me to have bums of steel so to speak. The tropical scene was ripped from the latest Parade magazine yesterday. Bikini's belong on a beach somewhere, anywhere but Oregon beaches! A tiny bit of roadmap tape was added as a reminder of the journey. And of course the fab Audrey Hepburn quote:
Nothing is impossible,
the very words says
'I'm possible'.
Now to squash any wild imaginings about me and teeny tiny bikinis bottoms...you're more likely to find me in a sleek pair of bike shorts...
Thanks so much for stopping by today...I wish for you sunny skies and warm breezes on your face...and the thought, you are possible!

I love your bright colors on this. Sort of reminds me of an old beer commercial "From the Land of Sky Blue Waters..." The first time I saw the sentiment I thought sure I needed to use it on my sign at work. Haven't yet, but it sure is a good one...

Susan, this is fantastic!! Who else would have thought to combine a bikini and a bike! Oh my gosh, this is awesome and love all the symbolism. By the way, bike shorts make excellent swim bottoms for those of us over 22!

What a fun combo of elements Susan! This is about as close to a bikini as you'll ever find this mom of six....there is just a little evidence of those pregnancies left over!
