Chocolate, Coffee & Cards – Summer Days!

Hello, how are things in the world of you?

Today a new challenge starts over on the Chocolate, Coffee and Cards Challenge Blog and our theme this fortnight is Summer Days!  Oh yes!

We are sponsored by the fabulous Eureka Stamps 
 and I chose to use this super cool dude called Cool Cat with Shades 

 Now I originally envisaged him sitting by the pool with a milk cocktail snootily ignoring the water!  However I found this brilliant paper with a surfboard on it so we were off to the beach! Sorry kitty!  Sand in the fur; not good!

Now I did a similar beach easel card here (one of my more crazy creations and that’s saying something) so you’ll have to forgive me the lack of originality! I am rather a fan of easel cards though!
Ingredients:
Other Stamps: LOTV sentiment – Docrafts ‘Paw Prints’
Dies: SB ‘Inverted Scalloped Circles’ – Tonic ‘Nesting Rectangles’- Tattered Lace ‘Big Fern’ (see Hopeless Hand drawings)
Paper/Card: Fancy Pants ‘Beach Babe’ - Textured paper that is almost as old as I am (Phew!) – Craftwork Cards tent-fold A6 blank – Amercian Crafts
Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers and pencils
Others: Glossy Accents
Hopeless Hand drawings: Bear with, there’s a few!  - Cat collar – A Kitdle (I know!!) – Bowl of milk – Fish head and tail (the ‘bones’ are made from one of the fronds on the Tattered Lace ‘Big Fern’die)

I hope you will join us for this great challenge. Check out the blog for all the wonderful DT inspiration and play along!

Thanks so much for looking and have a wonderful summery day!
See ya!

Colourful hugs
Jane xx
