Just Us Girls 616

 Hi!

I thought I'd have another go at the Just Us Girls challenge. This week it's a snowman photo. Hmm. A bit hard to get into that groove when it's been 30°C and humid for most of the week here in South Australia. But a snowman is just a shaped lump of ice, right? The only shaped lump of ice I want in summer is an icy pole! Or a popsicle, for the Americans reading my blog.

I used the same colour combo - Pool Party, Real Red and Smokey Slate - on my card. The icy poles are from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set, as are the sentiments.

The paper is from the SAB DSP, Sunshine & Rainbows. I've used a side that's more neutral for this card.

Another icy pole finishes off the inside, and now I'm off to raid the freezer to see if I can dig one up to cool me down!

Bye for now,

Tina

 Hi!

I'm sneaking in another challenge entry. Once again I found time to make a card while watching the Ashes cricket. Now that it's all over I may actually have to take down my Christmas decorations! 

A google search for card challenges led me to Just Us Girls and their colour challenge. Blue, Silver and White is definitely a 'me' combo!

I still had my Kindred Stamps Showtime and Showtime Sentiments stamp sets out, and would you know it - one of the characters is blue! I coloured him with my Copics - I think B95 anda B97, with a random yellow for the feet.

I grabbed some You're A Peach DSP for the striped background. Hehe, I thought that the subtle Stars and Stripes look would be good for him - not that he's subtle!

And of course, I couldn't resist adding a few more Silver Foil stars on the inside.

Bye for now,

Tina
