I'm back again as hostess for our latest Just Us Girls Color Challenge #738: Orange and Hot Pink. I figured that in the midst of summer these colors could encompass popsicles, fruits, bathing suits, pool floats, beach balls, cocktails, flowers and many more staples of the season. The team and our new guest, Bonnie Klass, have made a variety of fun cards for you.
I am also playing along at Time Out Challenges, Inspired by Words Challenge: It's Always Summer Somewhere....like where I live and like these ladies who spend many days of every month at the beach!
I am also playing along at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Anything Goes and Simon Says Stamp IG Challenge. #SSSIGChallenge
Simply Graphic: Swimmers dies
Ellen Hutson: Everything's Beachy stamp set
Simon Says Stamp: Under the Sea Animals (sentiment)
Pink and Main: Large Sentiment Strip dies
The Greetery: Coaster die
Stampin' Up!: Melon Mambo embossing powder
Versamark ink pad
Kraft A2 card base
I love die cutting and playing paper dolls with this swimmer die. My swimmers have different suntans but you can't see it in the photo. They are all going to burn if they don't get under those umbrellas!
I hand cut the umbrellas after stamping them with Versamark ink to give me a guide. I popped them up on foam tape to look more realistic over the girls.
We all hope you will play along with us this week. See you in the gallery!

Carol... I love, love, love these sunbathing beauties! Great way to use the coaster die from Greetery. Such a creative in the perfect colors!
Thanks so much Elizabeth!
Carol, these are my FAVE colors of the season! Seriously can't wait to start playing - I'm thinking seconds, and maybe even third helpings!
I am imagining the conversation these three are having under those darling sunhats! OH, do I wish you lived next door!

These girls are so fun. I would love to be at the beach with them.
Thanks Michele! Wouldn't it be fun to live near a slew of our stamping friends?
Thanks so much Vicki!
Oh what a totally delightful summer card! You picked such a great color combo--hoping to join the gallery!
PS--yes, the green Lunar Paste really is named fake plant! Pretty funny name, but really gorgeous green!
You chose wonderful colors for summer, Carol! I love how you used these colors in your beach scene with the bright umbrellas, bathing suits and hats! Such wonderful little details! Thanks for the warm welcome.
How fun, Carol! I love those ladies lying on the beach blanket getting a tan, which I can see on my screen.
I just love this card so much. I love those dies. I bought them when I first saw you use them, but I have never used them. I have to change that! The colors are so perfectly used here, and I just love that you used that coaster die as a beach blanket. Great design and great use of combining products from multiple companies. Love, love, love!!!!
What a pretty little trio of bathing beauties! This is a fabulous card, Carol. Love the bright happy colors you picked for us this week!
Thanks so much ladies!!! I appreciate your kind words!
I love this! Those bathing beauties look fabulous laying on the beach blanket with beach umbrellas. Awesome use of our colors this week!
Thanks everyone so much!!
Fabulous fun and so so cool in these summery colours. Love the 'beach towel'Oh to have a body like these gals!
One fun, fabulous card, my friend. Talk about an impressive showcase of orange and pink!
