Ha! Ha! I have to laugh. Because not too many people want to ‘celebrate’ a Texas summertime heat. Where the temps reach 100 and so does the humidity!
However, many of you would like to celebrate summertime! As do the designers over at Nacho Average Challenges –
That’s right. This is their current challenge and I just had to play along!
Summertime makes me think of sitting on a beach –
So, that’s where I went with my design.
I made my water a pretty torn Dapper Denim and Marina Mist blue. Had it been in Galveston’s water, it’d been brown.
I did kind of take a cue from our gorgeous Texas skies by adding the big fluffy clouds! The beach ball just seemed an appropriate ‘pop’ of color the card needed!
When I created this card, I used scrapped stamped images. For the life of me, I can not remember how cut out the word Celebrate out. It’s perfect – but I can not tell you why! But, it looks awesome on the card!
Oh, this is too cute!!! I’m originally from DFW, so I understand that Texas heat!! I don’t miss it at all! haha!!! Love your card — thanks for sharing your talent with us!!
