SOS: Hot, hot, hot!!!

Welcome, crafters!  This week at Shopping Our Stash, Chana selected the theme Hot, hot, hot!  How will you interpret it?  Food? Fire? I even have these cute stickers that look like pin-up girls of the 40s/50s-- they could be hot as in sexy! But alas I am not that fun and I went with hot weather!


Supplies:

  • The focal image on this card is the gal by Artistic Impressions stamped with Ranger Atrchival Ink in Jet Black.  She was colored with a combination of DOx's and Spectrum Noir markers.  She was accented with Finetec metallic watercolors.
  • The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  The brads are probably almost 10 years old.
  • The sun is also from the set, 
  • The three background panels were scraps from some postcards I made.  I inked them with Carved Pumpkin DOx and then stamped them with Seth Apter's circles inked with Picked Raspberry DOx and spritzed.
  • The "beach sand" was a scrap of monoprinted paper in my pile, and the "water" was also a scrap of background papers made in the past.
  • I mounted all of this onto a scrap of pink paper-- it's not even cardstock.  Just thin paper, almost like origami paper or something.
I hope this bright card makes you have all the warm feels of summer. I miss it already, and it's still hot where I live (but I LOVE it).

Join in the fun with us at Shopping Our Stash!  What will you come up with?
