Here is my project using the Sunny Smiles Stamp Set! Okies, so I maybe added a few bits from the Yo Ho Ho Background Builder set too, lol. I couldn’t help myself.

Whilst the children were delighted by the natural jacuzzi, Cthulhu was enjoying his summer treats! 😀 Here is what the Sunny Smiles and Yo Ho Ho Sets Look like in the shop –


Here is a close up of my colouring.
I used polychromos on kraft cardstock and lots of different white pens, none of them satisfactory and all made me cross, lol.

To make up my card I used papers from Sunny Studio and some bling from the stash. I don’t normally like things at a jaunty angle, but this one worked out ok. You can’t really see how the stars work on a photo, in real life they are kinda cool!

Thanks for joining me for my hop post. Make sure you head on over to Insta to see all the hard work by the incredible design team. I get so much inspo off them all I dunno where to start! I hope you do too.
