Sweet Summer Swimsuits

Hey y'all, happy Friday!  And today's card is the last one I'll make in my Texas craft room as the crew is coming on Monday to start packing up all my stuff for the move to Colorado.  So here's a summery card for today:


Sunny Splash was the first stamp set I thought of when I saw the Retro Rubber Challenge:


I've had the stamp set for over a year and a half but I had only used it once before now.  For the tic-tac-toe, I went along the diagonal with die cut - summer - sequins.  Once I chose the stamp set, the first color that I thought of was Pineapple Punch, which is the happiest yellow ever invented, and that led me to the How Sweet It Is DSP, which was candy-themed but also has some fun patterns like the rainbow stripes and polka dots.  Of course I had a yellow polka-dot swimsuit (even if it's not a bikini) for the middle of my card.  A few Tutti Frutti sequins and it's done!

Okay, I'd better get some stuff done today--I had intended to start getting things prepped to move yesterday, but after I picked up Ryan from soccer camp and we went to lunch with my dad, I was just zonked out and I took a nap, then did some stitching and read a bit before going to bed.  So today I have to start organizing things, starting with my craft room since it takes a while to get all the ink pads ready to move.  Cheers, y'all!

Ink:  Melon Mambo, Pineapple Punch, Granny Apple Green, Gorgeous Grape
Paper:  Coastal Cabana, Pineapple Punch, Thick Basic White, How Sweet It Is DSP

I love this set, I just used it for something else, the swimsuits are awesome. Great card using your row choice. The sequins make me very happy. Thanks for joining us at Retro Rubber this time. Claire DT
