I will happily confess that summer is not my season. It is hot, it is sticky, swimming brings only temporary relief and there's no point gobbling tons of ice cream, either. Nevertheless, in the spirit of challenging myself, I considered a few challenges that want to see summer or seaside. And I know a friend who would love a card in this vein.
So I gathered my supplies: a die that reminds me of frothy water, and a cat with sun glasses. The stamp is actually meant for Halloween, but I think it fits perfectly for a summer scene, too.
The cat definitely needed an ice cream, so I drew a paw and a cone with three scoops, a classic. I then colored the cat in with my pencils. I made the sun umbrella out of two circles, red and white, that I cut strategically and put together again.
Entering this in these challenges that I drew my ideas from:
Time Out: #315 Pick 2 - I picked water and ice cream, but summer belongs here, too

Well you may not enjoy summer, but you sure know how to make a pretty and cute card with a seaside theme. That cat is adorable and your cone looks delicious. Thanks for sharing at cardz4galz, Johanna
