PP98: Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

This is the card I made for the Paper Players challenge. The challenge was to create a card with the theme of summer. I actually made this card for PP#96 (polka dot theme), but didn't have time to upload my card. I hate when that happens! Usually, I just end up sending them off to a friend, but I decided to keep this one with the hopes that it would fit a different challenge. Yippee! It meets this weeks challenge.

I printed the lyrics to the song, "Yellow Polka Dot Bikini" on SU Whisper White. The bikini is made from the SU full heart punch.

And, now for the details...

FMS37: Sending Sympathy and Prayers

This is the card I made for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge. I've recently discovered that you can use Stampin' Up! inks similar to that of Distress Inks. They don't blend quite as nicely, but still create a nice effect. Plus, you can easily match Stampin' Up! DSP. I love stuff that matches!
