Summertime:

Good morning all.  Hmmmmm... how can it be Monday again (grumble, grumble)...

This week StampFairy is sponsoring Sketch N Stash's sketch challenge with the option of summertime fun:

I used some of my new papers appropriately called Summer Splash.  While colouring Lenny, Summertime (Doin' Time) by Sublime got into my head.:

Card Ingredients:  StampFairy digi, MME papers, Bazzill and Recollections cardstock, Prismacolor pencils, Gelly Roll white pen, random buttons, Craftsmart Teal ink.  Tools:  mineral spirits and blending stumps, Square Nestie, make-up sponge for sky.







I made this card for the following challenges:   Joanna Sheen - masculine, Designed to Color - summertime, Charisma Cardz - digis, Simon Says - transport (rubber dingies count,  right?), Top Tip Tuesday - masculine.

TOP TIP TUESDAY TIP:  You don't need anything fancy to create a sky background.  I use an old triangle make-up sponge and any colour of blue ink pad (I use a quick dry teal).  Keep the make-up sponge in a plastic bag and you can reuse it for about three sky backgrounds.  To re-ink, I press on the ink pad once and then I am good to go for another three times.  Cloud templates are easily found on the internet.  Print, cut, and ink!  Easy peasy!

Have a wonderful Monday!  Cheers.
