Happy Summer

To be honest I think we've almost had out summer over here in the UK - we're getting plenty of rain at the minute where I live and are predicted for more. We didn't get much of a summer last year, but I'm hoping this year will be better! Anyways...this card is for Friday MashUp's Challenge #116 to use masking with a beachy theme (I used my post it notes and cloud dies to make masks for the sky and sand), for Sketchy Challenges #50 for the sketch and for Kraftin' Kimmie's Challenge #185 for the colour chooser below. I think I got a lot of those colours in!


And here's my card using my new little cutie that I won a couple of weeks ago from Kraftin' Kimmie! This card will be perfect to give to one of my year group colleagues when we break up for the summer holidays in   4 weeks time!
