Challenge #127 - "Its Summer Time" - Pink Gem Challenges

Good Morning Gemsters, well do you know that its only days now before they children go back to School but over on Pink Gem Challenges we are trying to keep the holidays going as long as possible with this fortnights "Its Summer Time" Challenge so I do hope that you have enjoyed the holidays with your family and have lots of ideas for this theme.
As always Janet of Pink Gem Designs is sponsoring our Challenge

And we are so lucky to be able to choose from any of Janet's designs to create our cards and I chose this one of Andy.

And you will find him here on Pink Gem Designs website, I have printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him, afterwards I cut him out completely.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of blue card and the papers I have used are from Janets "Slugs and Snails" paper set and you will find them here, I used the blue for the sky and the yellow for the sand. I then used Tattered Lace's Beach Hut dies to create two of them which I have placed on the left and the right hand side, I then used Mariannes Flag Border to cut three out and placed them across the top of my card to create a festive feel to my card.
I then placed my cut out Andy at the bottom of my card in the middle, and the sentiment was googled and printed to create that in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I placed a bucket button in the bottom left hand corner.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will want to take part in this "Its Summer Time" Challenge.
