I'm still on the beach theme and using fun brand-new-to-me stamps that illustrate summer fun. As soon as I saw the cute images of kids at the beach I loved the happy feeling and sense of movement in the Sandy Toes set (Waffleflower.)
I stamped and Copic colored the images, then fussy cut them, enabling me to choose the ones I wanted to use and play with arranging them. The runner is popped up in order to stand out.
For the background I began with a page from the Modern Neutral paper pack (also from Waffleflower) that has patterns of suns rays subtly in gray. I gently ink blended with blues and yellow to create the scene, adding a few dotted images for sand.
I love this paper pack and super cute kids. I was so tickled with how this card turned out that I just kept looking at it!
I will also share it at the challenges listed below. I hope you can find a way to put a little celebration of summer into your day!

I just posted my card on NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff!) and wanted to stop in to get a close look at your card. I love how your card literally radiates with color and fun! Thanks for sharing. Kathy A at myasperations.blogspot.com
Such an adorable card! Your images certainly are fun and your background is stunning! Thanks for playing with us at The Paper Players!
I agree-how peaceful it is to be on the beach in flip flops and this is one fab scene-super colouring and love how you popped up sections. Thanks for joining Time Out x
Love the scene you created and it makes me wish that I too was running to the beach to escape the heat wave. Long for next year!
What a fun and lively scene! Adorable! I also like how you changed up the colors on the pattern paper to go with this day at the beach.
So CUTE Cindy!
Such an adorable beach scene. Love how everyone is so energetic! Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out.
This is so cute! Your coloring is wonderful! It has been hot here as well! And I wear flip flops every day all summer - and get the strangest flip flop tan across the top of my feet ......lol....
This card exudes so many good vibes, I just can't get the smile off my face. Not that I want to. I say "yay" to summer, especially now when we really need to get outside. Such great coloring and background work, Cindy!
Cindy, this card is a twelve on the scale of one to ten! Oh my goodness, you've created a fabulous scene for these enthusiastic youngsters tearing off to enjoy the water, with superb coloring an a wonderful beachy background! I totally love this! As always, a pleasure to see your card in the Player's gallery. Thank you for sharing with us!
