With the weather being so hot today (a high of 94 f with a humidity in the high 60%) it would have been a perfect day to hit the beach! Since I had to go to work instead, I decided to make a beach themed card tonight. (Next best thing, right? At least I have air conditioning...lol) I decided to use Sweet Sketch Wednesday's current sketch:
So, here's my card!
The girl image is from Some Odd Girl and was colored with Copics. The tropical beach scene I found online and was also colored with Copics. The sentiment is from TLC Creations. (Isn't it fab?! Paulette has a ton of awesome word art sentiments and images...you should definitely check her out. Plus, her blog has a freebie EVERY DAY!! She's so generous, and such a sweetie.) The flowers I made with my new Sizzix flower die. (I'm still fairly new to the whole quilling idea...but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it!)
Ok, well once again it's almost midnight before I'm finally getting the card posted. LOL Thank goodness tomorrow's Friday and it's a holiday weekend here in the US. I can catch up on some sleep! (Or, you know...make more cards. LOL) I'm off to bed, so thanks so much for stopping by, and we'll see you soon!

So cute! I love the layout and how the elements come together! Thanks for being Odd with us!
Ok ok I'm not that old! But I feel like it! Personally, I'm too old for this! Probably only because previously having cancer really messed me up. I'll be ok as long as my husband does not try to throw me a birthday party when I turn 30! I already warned him and he seems to think he can somehow put a party together and surprise me. But he forgets I control our finances so I'd like to know how he'd manage paying for things without me knowing! hahaha but that's next year! I'm not going to ask for that hurry and get here!
What a gorgeous summer card!! I love the bright colors or her suit and those sunglasses awesome!!

Have a super week-end !

Thank you for your comment on my blog yesterday about the skunk & tomato juice. I had the samething happen to my dog when I was a kid. I don't think the tomato juice helped. It just have us a skunky, tomato-y smelling very unhappy dog.
Have a great week end!

This card is just way too cute Star...makes me want to be on a beach somewhere...but not quite warm enough here today lol. Love the different dp you used...and you did a fabulous job making those little flowers. Your sentiment from Paulette is so perfect for both of those wonderful images. Great coloring of the images too.
