I made this beachy card to play along with the newest Just Us Girls Challenge.
I cut the sunglasses out of a cold drink plastic cup from Starbucks from about 6 years ago when I worked near one and used to get an iced Matcha Green Tea Latte just about every day! There are 3 different styles of glasses and I'm so glad I cut them out! They probably just had them in the summer time and I don't know if they still do?!
The flip flops stamps and dies are from Flipping Out from PTI (retired) and the sentiment is from Technique Junkies.
I was inspired by the sunglasses, the colors, the blue striped bit and the flipflops in the mood board.

ReplyDeleteThese sunglasses look so real, Julia! Brilliant to cut them from a repurposed plastic cup! Great flip flops too!
ReplyDeletethe glasses are adorable, what a great score :)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember those summer Starbucks cups, Julia - around here, ours are the mermaid logo kind. What a fantastic idea to trim the sunglassess off your tea cup - they are darling with the flip-flops!!
