A Flip Flop Summer

Good morning everyone!  It's going to be another hot one today here in NB.  We've had some pretty hot and humid days this summer.  I prefer a little bit cooler with less humidity.  It's just all kinds of wrong to sit still and sweat buckets!  Oh well.  Could be worse.  :-)

I have a card to share today that, to me, shouts summer!  Take a look...

This is how I made it.  I cut and tore a piece of kraft paper to my desired size and then splattered it with black,white, brown and gold acrylic paint.  This makes it really look like sand.  Then I cut and tore some vellum pieces which I then tinted with a light blue (TB1) Spectrum Noir marker.  I attached sand and water to my white card base.  The flip flops are a free digi by Neat and Tangled and can be found HERE.  I printed them off, coloured them with my Spectrum Noir markers (CT4, OR1, OR3), fussy cut them out and added some gold glitter to the hearts.  I attached to my card raising one with foam dots.  Then I stamped my sentiment which is by Paper Smooches.

I'm linking up to the following challenges:

STAMPlorations - the July monthly challenge is stamps and glitter.
Spectrum Noir - July monthly Facebook challenge is Summer

Well, I hope you all have a fabulous day and thanks for visiting!
