Hi friends! Happy August! Summer sure is flying by!
It's time for a new Time Out challenge. This is our theme challenge, and the theme is RELAXATION.
Newton's Nook is our sponsor for this challenge. I chose to use this cute Summer Vacation stamp and die set for my card. What better way to relax than on a beach on a sunny day under an umbrella? Maybe a drink in hand? LOL! I started by coloring this cute image with copic markers then die cutting it with the matching die. Then I created the background by sponging in clouds with a stencil and then sponging in the water. The sand was created with stitched dies using kraft cardstock. I added the pail of sand and the die cut sun before stamping the sentiment. I added glossy accents to the sunglasses and yellow crystals. There is also shimmer on the umbrella, sun and pail. I'm not sure how I feel about the dots I put on the sand. :-(
You can see more from the Time Out design team and our guest for this challenge, Marieke, on the Time Out blog.
Thanks for stopping by!

This is such a fab scene and oh how I wish I was there and you are right a drink in the hand would be prefect. Adore the vibrant colours-good choice of stamp..they have a drinks stamp I am waiting for to come back in! And adding the gloss to the umbrella fab touch. The way you created the sand is just so creative x
This beach scene is so adorable! I love the colors and the fun texture on the texture on the sand really adds the perfect touch! Thanks for featuring our images on the Time Out Challenge!
