Feel the sand between your toes

The bits and bobs to make this card have been sitting in a little basket on my desk for a while now but I finally got the Pro Markers going and here's Warren, on a day at the beach:

Grinning here - if that surfer doesn't get him then surely the wave will :)

I used:

- 6" x 6" square cream card stock

- a pre-printed 'Warren the Rabbit' circle from Craftwork Cards, coloured with Pro Markers. Yes, I did work the colouring round the flip flops and the background paper - and it is a spotted handkie knotted on his head too :)

- backing paper by Bo Bunny from the 'Barefoot and Bliss' collection

- sentiment stamp is a 'cling' one by Stampendous called 'Feel Sand'. Stamped onto a snippet of blue card with the end cut into a pennant shape

- flip flop buttons (from Hobbycraft) with the shanks snipped off and stuck onto the card using the glue gun 

- Josy Rose nail heads

Although I've got some pennant dies, the sentiment was too chunky to use a die with, so to cut the V-shape I just measured the width of the strip of paper when it was trimmed to size and drew a vertical line about half that width away from the right hand end. A little dot in the centre of that line gave me the point at which to draw two lines to form the V-shape, out to each of the corners. A couple of snips, some gentle rubbing out and hey presto - a symmetrical V-shape.

The first time I've managed to do any crafting for several days too!

It seems like ages since I entered some different challenges so this card is for the following:

Passion for Pro Markers - Week 161 - At the Beach

Creative Card Crew - Challenge 16 - Under the Sea or On the Beach - this card is On the Beach but could end up as Under the Sea if Warren doesn't watch out!

Little Claire - monthly challenge #23 - Summer/Holidays

Anything Goes - Challenge 73 - Summer Days

Truly Madly Crafty - August Challenge - Summer Fun

I discovered how I thought it was a Bank Holiday here - my kitchen calendar shows all Bank Hols in very small print and I saw 'Summer Bank Holiday' but missed the word 'Scotland' when this visit was first mooted weeks ago!
