I first thought I would diecut the flip flops from colored cardstock as per the challenge. but I deemed them too big for our CAS challenge because I wanted three on the card front.
Instead I opted to make a sunset with the colors inside a circle, then, like you see a lot, black flip flops as they're backlighted, but then I found them too dark for a Summer card, I added some yellow on the strips to brighten that up and a black gemstone.
The Sunset was made with 2 circle masks and Distress inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Kitsch
Flamingo, Carved Pumpkin and Picked Raspberry. I kind of like this for a beach sunset with a black palm tree, with the flip flops not so much.
The Happy Birthday is from Whimsy Stamps: Simple Sentiment Strips.
The flipflops are Marianne Design: LR0477.
For my second card I made a beach with Distress ink Scattered Straw and wanted to make it look like the Flip Flops were stuck in the sand. These were the ones I made for my first idea. I was tempted to add some blue for the Sea, but that's not included in the challenge colors.
I look forward to your takes on the card, you can enter them here.
