Summer At The Beach

Morning folks, it's still rather hot here today but is muggy as it's cloudy at the moment so I hope the sun will come back soon. You may need sunglasses for my card here as it's rather bright! This is because the theme for the new challenge over at Polka Doodles today is Summer something we haven't seen much of this year but we can live in hope!
Here's my card and you'll now see what I mean about the sunglasses!

I made the card blank by using a large Go Kreate die offset slightly at the fold to make a pretty shape and then made a frame for the front using yellow polka dot paper from the Sugarplum Daisy CD with the same paper in blue underneath.
I used the beach hut and ice cream images from the Sundae of Seasons CD (rather appropriate don't you think lol) with the bunting from the Studio 12 Picknix Collection 1 CD. The cute image is Taylor - Camping Day by Emma Canning but I decided to imagine her heading for the beach with a parasol and wellies for wading in some rock pools. Everything was coloured with a mix of Aquamarkers and Prismacolor pencils which I love to add detail with - do you like the stripes and dots on the bunting?
I finished off with a sentiment from Sugarplum Daisy, die cut with a Nestabilities scalloped circle die and coloured up to resemble the sun.

You'll have to let me know what you think and hope you like my bright and sunny creation.
Thanks for looking and have a great day.
Hugs, Fliss xx
