I was so excited to have the opportunity to play with the "BEACH DAY" stamp set. Just look at this adorable image!!!
Does she not just scream "paper piecing"? It was all I could do not to try and use everyone of the stamps at once. Not sure you can really see how I stamped the little border of seashells with Versamark ink then stamped over them with the sentiment "Fun in the Sun"?

Because I wanted to use that sentiment, I gave my little girl a little "sunburn" but I also used a yellow felt flower (thank you PAT) and button to resemble the SUN. Cute eeeh?
CHALLENGES I USED:
Cupcake Craft Challenge: Use the photo above (I liked the colors & of course beachy)
Cute Card Thursday: Summer
Simon Says Stamp: Photo Inspiration (I liked the turquoise)
Easy Craft Projects: Summer
Freshly Brewed: Summertime
Stampavie: Sparkling (I added glitter to the butterly in the center of her bathing suit)
Crafty Calendar: Summer (Glitterbabe is sponsoring this)
