Join us! It is DIE week at Just Us Girls. Carol Mc is challenging us to make a SUMMER card using dies. Being from Florida... I love making warm weather cards. Thankfully it is hard to relate to snow from the beach.
I used a fun die set from Spellbinders for this card. I love this set because it is perfect for scraps. The small scene of the bather and her accessories can be made as one piece. This set is very easy to assemble (some Sizzix sets require me to watch a YouTube video!). I made five of this card solely for personal use to entice friends to get away and visit in those cold northern months.
I used a wave border to create the background; die cutting the "water" and stamped "sand" into nestable shapes. The sentiment is white embossed. I had to add this particular sentiment. My neighbor asks me every morning when I am out... "are you livin the dream?"

I forgot that I have this set, purchased during one of SB's clearance sales. I love how you pieced together a wonderful summery scene, and that cobalt ocean is stunning!
Your sunbather is so stylish, Elizabeth. Perfect summer die cuts and I love the sentiment with it.
Look at her all decked out in pink with her pretty tan! This is cute, Elizabeth!
I love this beachy scene and that sentiment is awesome! I am loving all of the coordinating pink to complete her emsemble.
What an absolutely gorgeous card!
Love your beach scene Elizabeth and yes what a perfect die set to use up some scraps. Your sand looks so realistic. Love all the pink and what a lovely 'tan' this beach lovng lady has.
