Fun(ky) in the Sun

I thought I'd share a postcard I made for a swap today,  The idea is that all postcards are sent "naked" - as in, no envelopes - a bit "shock horror" for anyone who loves adding dimensional stuff, or bits that are only partially adhered and meant to stick up and out from the card -  like I do with flowers etc., but it all adds to the challenge, eh? 

Our theme this time was "Summer" and tbh there was no real doubt as to what I'd be putting on my card hehe

It had to be Beach Huts!  

I knew exactly which papers I'd be using too!

 

The two Funky Hand downloads Rainbow Stripes and Rainbow Polka Dots are absolutely the ticket for a bright, Summery, Sunshiney scene like this.  Making the beach huts was a great way to show off how they can be "tweaked" to change the printing size and get bigger (or smaller) versions of the spots and stripes - this is my favourite "thing" about Funky Hand downloads!  My second favourite is being able to print them on different mediums (or should that be media?)
