Sitting here in my sweatsuit, I realize the warm sunny days of summer are coming to an end. This card was made for a 'sketch challenge' on Paper Pretties, and I wanted to celebrate one last day of summer time 'fun in the sun' with this girl wearing a 'beaded' swimsuit. Unrealistic? Perhaps, but oh what fun! I used 4 different pieces of patterned paper from Basic Grey's 'Pheobe' pack. After cutting to the sizes needed, I put 3 layers through the Big Kick using the Cuttlebug 'tiny bubbles' folder...wow...it made them all look as if they were one piece of paper...kind of neat looking, imho.
The brads are 'Shimmery' by Making Memories. The pretty pink micro beads are from Paper Pretties online store. The My Favorite Things 'Back to the Beach' image is colored with Copic Markers. I covered the swimsuit 'top' with crystal effects and then sprinkled the micro beads on top...let dry, then added more crystal effects to the lower portion of the swimsuit. Awe...I sure am gonna miss my warm sunny days. TFL

This is absolutely too cute for words! I love the colors and how you embossed all of the sheets together. Thanks for sharing this. Last days of summer in Michigan, also :(
