More summer fun on its way today with this wonderful image from QKR Stampede and it's all about the running debate every vacation time over whether to swim or sunbathe. :-D The secret is to swim until your body gets cold, then go back and sunbathe until you warm up. Repeat the cycle endlessly until the daylight is gone.
The image is colored with ProMarkers and a bit of sparkle gel ink, with white gel ink on the sunglasses. The card base is embossed. The image is corner punched and the mat is die cut. Sentiment is printed, fussy cut and matted, then fussy cut again. I added a strip of gauze paper behind the image (a left over scrap). then found a scrap of gingham ribbon for the bow and finally added the three metal brads to the corner.

Have a warm, summer day -- at least in your heart if it's cold or rainy outside. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Great card and love (and understand) the sentiment. I noticed the painted toes and nails. Nothing but the best for this sunbathing sweetie I see. LOL Have a fun day.
I would like to be somewhere sunbathing and swimming right now. I need some hot sun. Our weather has been crazy...it was only in the high 70's yesterday. Where is that 100 degree weather we always have? We've had lots of mid to high 80's and not so many high 90's. So, I'm thinking I'd like to be your guy. Ha
Super card, Connie.
Not cold or rainy here by any means so I wish I was out sunning/swimming with this little guy. CUTE card and love your coloring on him.
