I made this card for Summer Playlist VSN, Brenda's challenge: Boot Scootin'. It also works for the "Argh, Dust!" challenge by Toni...my embossing powder for the sun.
The sentiment sure applies to these times, "Life may not be the party we had hoped for but while we're here we might as well dance!"
I used some stenciled scraps from my trash for my sand, gluing onto blue cs. I stamped and colored my penguins with Prismacolor pencils, fussy cut them out and glued onto "sand." I stamped and heat embossed my sun with orange and yellow. It was quite sparkly enough for me, so I added some Stickles glitter.
I used my Misti to stamp the sentiment. For the clouds, I sponged on white pigment ink, then highlighted with a white gel pen.
Thanks for a fun challenge Brenda...now let's all dance!

I love the texture of your sand and the glimmering of your sparkling sun.

Gracie,
you have a knack for adding just the right amount of little extras to make your cards so special! This one is no exception with the sparkle, beautiful sky, and coloring to bring those penguins to life!

Gracie, those dancing penguins caught my eye right away in the gallery. Love your glittery sun! The stencilled bits from your stash look great for the sand. You are so creative!
