Beach Bum

HAPPY 4th OF JULY to all my US friends!  

This week I played along with the sketch challenge from Sweet n' Sassy Stamps challenge blog - The Sweet Stop.    I didn't go with a 4th of July theme for my card but did go with a summer theme.  I used the beach bucket image with Cocoa from the Beach Bum set.  Along with that great image I paired it with some new DCWV papers called A Type of Art.

Here is the sketch:



Here is what I did:

I paper pieced the bucket and added glitter to his ears, isn't he the cutest?  I've been having fun with the Sweet n' Sassy images lately!  Get ready because in just a few weeks July 19th they are having a fun Christmas in July blog hop and friends are invited to link up!  

Have a safe and happy fourth!

Till later!
