Sunshine and Good Times...

TGIF everybody! 

Not only is it the second day of previews for the new Hello Bluebird release but all of the new stamps sets and dies will be available in the Hello Bluebird store tonight at 7pm MST. Today we have two new summer themed stamp sets and a cute Halloween set to share and my post will be all about those summer cuties! 

This slimline card features two of the characters from the new Come On In set that includes six sweet swimmers, two sentiments and a handful of fun accents. As I was perusing this set for the first time the idea to have that swimming bear playing shenanigans with a fake shark fin tied to the top of his head had me smiling and that is always a good sign. Instead of having the little fox run into water it completed my funny story to have him skedaddling out of it, away from the "shark" that spooked him. The sentiment was borrowed from the new Beach Play set. 

Speaking of the Beach Play set, I grabbed the cute skunk in a tube floatie from it and paired her with the tube floatie bear cub and sentiment from the Come On In set for this card that I colored Live yesterday. We had a wonderful time creating this colorful ocean scene and I was able to share how I color bodies of water.   

Finally, bear cub and skunk are back and taking a surf side stroll on my last card for today. They are from the Beach Play set as well as the stamp that I used to create the waters edge. Everything else in the scene is from the older Seaside Girls set. The colors in this one are a bit more soft and muted, though skunks black fur got away from me a bit, LOL! Oh well, adds to the mood I guess! ;)
