How to: surf and look beautiful

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing fine and looking forward to your vacation. Today I am the host of the new challenge at

and my choice is

HOT SUMMER AND / OR HOT COLORS

The weathers is so hot here I couldn't make it any other way LOL

Our sponsor for this challenge is

so wipe the sweat from your foreheads and join us.

My DT card is about hot summer and surfing.

This is a 'thank you' card I made for my ZUMBA instructor to thank her for her amazing job through the whole year. And she looks exacly like this 'chica' on the stamp. I am using a Saturated Canary's 'Toes in the sand' stamp - it's colored with Promarkers and distressed with distress ink.

For this card I am using the Kaiserkraft paper pad 'Paradiso'. These patterns remind Caribbean summer (or I believe they do, I've never been there). I also added a twine and some gems.

The sentiment says 'Thank you' and I made it by myself. The flowers are from my stash.

Thank you for visiting my blog!
