- Fun stamps deserve fun colors! A Lucky Limeade card base, with Tempting Turquoise and Melon Mambo Designer Papers, just screams fun in the sun! Blender Pens and a cacophony of colors are used to watercolor tasty treats, fabulous flip-flops, and a quartet of cuties engaging in some aquatic fun! What color inks did I select? The list is long: Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, Island Indigo, Cherry Cobbler, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade, Tangerine Tango, Basic Black, Marina Mist, Pool Party, Peach Parfait, Chocolate Chip, Elegant Eggplant.
- Fun cards deserve fun embellishments! A pinwheel with a Pear Pizzazz Glimmer Brad reinforces the summer fun theme!
A dash of Dazzling Diamonds adds a touch of glam.
And of course, what is a pair of flip-flops without a Pearl…or two!

you rock fresh and fun cards, Ann – just like you do vintage! I love the pearls on the flip flops – only something you would think of! 🙂
This card screams color and fun and summer time. I love it! I like how well the Lucky Limeade gose so well with Tempting Turquoise. I did not buy this set but now you have me thinking. I can see whyBrady gave this set a thumbs up. 🙂

Such a happy-go-lucky card. Perfect for summer. As usual your little added extras make it more special. My hubby loves the bright colors on cards; those are the ones he usually has positive comments about.
This is a lovely summer card…and the pinwheel certainly reminds me of my kids….they love pinwheels! Thank you for sharing…
Absolutely adorable card Ann, this set is perfect for Fun in the Sun isn’t it! Love the touch of the pinwheel to set everything off.
Such a fun card! I love seeing some sneak peeks from the US … love those new in-colours. Hope we are going to get that cute stamp set???Hugs xxaxx
Well, I know it is not vintage, but it sure is FUN! Perfect for the sketch, but I feel like a slacker when I see all the work you put into it!!! The colors you chose really fit the images perfectly. I think I have some Snapple ice pops in the freezer….this is definitely making me want one!
What a CUTE and fun card, Ann!
What a fun card! Love the bright colors and that paper is just great!
Such a fun cute card. Your coloring is beatiful. I think you should do a video…hint,hint… We haven’t had much of a summer here yet.. I still have my fireplace on.. But this card gives me some hope.. Can’t wait to wear my flip flops..lol

Simply adorable! This card is definitely dripping with fun, sun, and color!
Cute Card and I love all the details!
Blender pen perfection! I adore this riotously colorful card! What a great way to highlight all the fun stamps in that set. May be out of your comfort zone but we would never know! Soooo cute!
I love all the colors on this Fun in the Sun card! You colored everything perfectly with your blender pen! I have never mastered that technique.
I love your card! Fresh, fun and so colorful. Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Hugs,
Too sweet! I can almost taste that grape popsickle or that fudge bar – yum! Your coloring is great! Love the touch of pearls. Did you see Colleen Dietrich’s card where she used chunky glitter for the water? It had a swan on it too. Anyway, love the card. Of course it is raining out as I am typing this. Oh and the pin wheel is just the perfect touch!

This card lives up to it’s name, Summer Fun. I love the design and , especially all the bright colors. It’s like having a party on paper. YAY!
Great card Ann! You can make any style card look fabulous!!! Love the coloring and all the pearl details! Hugs, J
Ann this is not your “usual” style but it is adorable! Not a spritz or pearl in sight, ha ha!. It’s so happy and fun…just what summer should be! Love the pinwheel.
Cute, cute, cute! The flip flops just fit Miss Daisy – hee, hee! :))) Thanks for bring joy into my day and blessing it as well.
Brady picked a fun set!
Love your bright and summery card. The glitter and pearls add nice touches to the cute images.
Oooh, this one got a huge squeal from me! I love it, Ann! Even though it’s not your lovely vintage, it’s still got plenty of those special Ann details (like all the wonderful coloring!)and a great sunny style. The pinwheel is so cute!
OMG Ann!!! What a fun card this is. Love all the colors. This stamp set is so cute, but you really made it AWESOME!!! Thanks for the inspiration.
Joan!!!
Ann,
You want some sun? Come on down to Texas!!! We will happily swap you some sun for a little rain.

This is my favorite. Love all the bright colors and especially the pearl bling on the pair flip flops.
xo, Marian
WOW! I love it! It’s not my style either, but it makes me want to go play with bright colors today. The added bling on the ice cream and inner tube put it over the top. Thanks for sharing your creativity.
LOVE IT!!! I never thought about putting all those images on the same card. Worked out wonderfully with that sketch. It’s a really great fun card. Thanks!
The colors work perfectly for this stamp set. What a fun and colorful sketch. And yes, I knew you would find a way to add that little “pearl” into the sketch.
this is so adorable, love the cute images and the pinwheel
Ann this card just made me smaile. The cheery colors and fun throughout is just adorable, but the finishing touch of the pinwheel is my favorite thing! So darn cute.
PS: I just got off the pbone with grandkids and they are going to a pool party today… they are so excited! But not as excited as me, as they are coming to visit on the 5th but they don’t know it yet! Hugs.
Ann, I LOVE it! The color combo is just screams summer fun and you knocked my socks off with that glittery inner tube! Eeek, too cute! The pinwheel is such a fun accent. This gets two thumbs up, a snap and a big whoo hoo!! FUN! 🙂
Adorable Ann!!! Love the colours and that sweet little fan on the side!
Hugs,
Lesley
You make me klaugh with your comment “this being as close as it may get to fun in the sun!” Love the Pinwheel and of course you found a place for “bling”.
I love this card and this stamp set is a must for summer.
This set works perfectly for that sketch! So cute – and I love the bright colors! This is adorable – so happy there are pearls 🙂
What a fun card Ann. The bright colours really add to the summer feeling with this card. Brady made a great choice. I love the pin wheel and it reminds me of days gone bye.
Ann, what a fun cute card this is. Love the coloring you did and all of the details with the glitter and pearls. Another amazing card and thanks for sharing with us!!
Just great how you snuck on those pearls–LOL. I noticed the first one on the ice cream cone and then the sandals. Such a great summer card. D
Very fun! I love all the bright colors and of course the pinwheel! 🙂 Amazing coloring; is there anything that you don’t do super extra wonderful? LOL
I agree with Brady…Love the bright colors! Your coloring is impeccable! Beautifulllll….{SMILES}
What a fun card! Love all the bright colors and the added bling! I knew you would find a way to add some pearls in there!
I have to tell you that I don’t like heat, so summer is by far my least favorite season. I hibernate inside near a fan, I lose all energy, and I get a little cranky (allergies don’t help either). But the scenes on your card are so very bright and cheerful, they ALMOST want me to give summer a chance!!
Ann, what a bright and happy card!! Looks like you had so much fun coloring and embellishing too! You would never know this is a different style for you…and love the word cacaphony!! : )
Such a happy card! Love all the colors. It shouts fun!
Just getting back from vacation and catching up with my blogs this morning. What a cute card. Love the glitter on the inner tube! Brady is right about the bright colors. I’m waiting on some lollipop sticks I ordered to attempt some pinwheels. So cute!
This is such a fantastic card, Anne! Your colouring is amazing!
Such a fresh and fun card Ann … the epitome of what summer is all about! It was all the fun happy colours you used that caught my eye, and oh … I love the sparkle of the DD and sweet lil’ pearls … a nice touch!!
