Summer time cards

Hey there! Hope you are having a great Monday! I am so excited to finally be back at home but I am ever so tired. Jet lag? A day of rest should conquer that. :-) I am getting together a fabulous give away so be on the look out for details. Coming soon---I promise!

I have two cards to share with you today from Paper Playtime's Digi Monday challenge. The first is using a Bugaboo image. I think this flamingo is so cute chilling on the beach with his bucket and shovel. I kept this card really flat cause I want to mail it. Lesson learned after mailing so many bumpy cards. Anyhow...

I used a scrap of Creative Imaginations paper (orange and purple ledger) and a tiny strip of Paper Trey Ink (polka dot) for this CAS card. That;s a Studio G clear stamp which I used SU's Pumpkin Pie ink to stamp and then highlighted with two Queen & Co. rhinestones.

Challenges for this card:
Creative Card Crew: Animals Anitcs
Dutch Dare: #122 Color Challenge
Paper Sundaes: #79 Beach or Summer

The second card uses a BonieBleaux image and sentiment which you can find at Dude Time Doodles. I love this guy's attitude. Well, I guess you could say I kinda gave him one with the sentiment. Hee hee. Summer days sure make me unmotivated to do anything.

I printed him on craft card stock because I am really terrible with backgrounds. Opps! Did I really just admit that to all of you? I guess so. I feel like it does not look so naked and like the guy is floating in space. Like my flamingo is. Since it's a masculine image, I kept this card as guy like as I could with the grid paper, red mat as a highlight and some brown twine. I did use light colored brads for the edges. I seem to be getting into brads again. I have enough so it's good to destash. :-)

Challenges for this card:
2 Sisters: #49 Anything Goes
CES Challenges: #46 Humor/Funny
Cute Card Thursday: #174 For his eyes only
Craft Your Days Away: #25 Summer
Totally Papercrafts: One of the boys
