I really love the assignment Vicki gave for JUGS #677 - and I also LOved her card!
While reorganizing my supplies I found a die from MFT that looks very similar to the darling sunglasses that Vicki has on her card here:
CASEing her card was fun! Here's my card with an explanation below:
While Vicki's elements were centered, I took mine to the edges! There are those MFT sunglasses - in fact our beachgoer has found a friend! LOved Vicki's sentiment. In fact, I live it - I'm barefoot all year long - in the house of course! My fun sentiment is one from Waffle Flower's Sandy Toes which I heat embossed in white. You'll see that it was kept centered as Vicki's was.
I found a wonderful 'sand' paper in HoneyBee's Vitamin Sea collection. A few palm fronds from Waffle Flower's Greenery die set. My 'towels' were embossed with SU's Tasteful Texture and fringed with MFT's mini fringe die.
yes, Vicki, it is time to bring out my favorite Summer stamps, too! Thanks so much for this fun challenge! Since I used the combo from Color Hues #63, I'll be sharing my card there, too.

Oh so fun! Thrilled you cased me too. I do love the sunglasses! Thanks for joining in at JUGS 😎
ReplyDeleteMichele, I LOVE your own creative version of Vicki's card...and you helped me remember that I have the set that goes with your sentiment! Those beach towels on the sand and the sunglasses are FABulous!!!!!!! So glad you joined us this week at JUGS!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this one Michele! I am SO ready for nice weather, even though my tootsies won't hold up to flip flops anymore! But I can definitely do the sunglasses and how perfect are they in the challenge colors and all the details in the neutrals?!! I love, LOVE your beach towels...they're perfection!! Thanks for playing along with The Color Hues Challenge again...we love seeing your creativity in the gallery!! :0)
ReplyDeleteI've missed way to many of your cards to try and catch up Michele, but I've looked at them all and WOW, as usual they are all amazing! Especially the flower ones as only you can do them. You knock my socks off every time! Love these sunglass cards too. I would totally sport these glasses! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteOh, geez, there are so many fun elements at work here! Love those sunglasses and the fringe, the sand paper, the palm fronds... I love feeling the sun and I can hardly wait till it comes to stay for a while. It's here today and that is good enough for now.
ReplyDeleteAm I weird.. but I wear my 'flip flops' (thongs sssh) every day walking the dog on the beach. The sand gets cold in Winter (wink)! And by Summer I'm in the habit of it lol.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you were inspired by your friend's card. The beach towel is especially cool. You are so clever. The sunglasses are fun and so is the sentiment. All around wonderful card, Michele. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnother very imaginative way to use the CH colors. I love your beach towels, the texture, the fringe... and those shades just perfectly represent 2 friends talking a sunny day away at the beach. My summer job.
ReplyDeleteI have that MFT die too, Michele, and have used it many times. I love them in the pink and cyan. Your towels are very creative and I knew right away where the sentiment came from.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great take on Vicki's card. I just love those towels, such a clever idea xx
ReplyDeleteI love the sunglasses! Flip flop weather is the best! Fun beachy card!
ReplyDeleteWhile the glasses are fun, I love your creative beach towels! This is so cute and I was happy to spy it in our JUGs gallery! Sweet P is a bare-footer too. Has been ever since she was an itty bitty thing. Those socks came off almost as soon as the shoes did!
ReplyDeleteThe beach on a card... Love those glasses, but the fringe towels are my fav! Sunny scene perfection!
ReplyDeleteWonderful take on Vicky's card, Michele! Love the sand beach, the creative towels, and the cool sunglasses in challenge colors! Did you even make the black lenses shiny?
ReplyDeleteHideko xx

ReplyDeleteI am so woefully behind, but having so much fun seeing all your recent posts! Love, love, love these sunglasses in the Color Hues colors! Perfect for the challenge and dreaming of the beach! This makes me ready to go right now!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card Michelle. Love the blue and pink sunglasses and the layout of your card. Great job. Congrats on the shout out at JUGS.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet CASE! Love the glasses, towels and your take on her card o-- so cute. So you and me? By that I mean running around barefoot all year? Yay! I actually have photos of me standing in snow in my sandals during winter!
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool and fun card Michele! I love those shades, especially in hot pink & cyan!! Thanks again for joining us at the Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteSuch a genius idea...love how you did the towels and the sand background! Love it!
