Getting Ready for Bikini Season?

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

Okay. I am no where near ready for bikini season. Even prior to having my newest baby girl it had been a while since I would wear a true bikini. But (no pun intended) if my butt looked this good I would be more than happy to wear a bikini. My friend Lori saw cards like these at splitcoaststampers.com and forwarded me the page. It seems that they were a card challenge with some catchy title of “Put Your Big Girl Panties On”. There is even a template you can download for free. I decided they needed some embellishments so that is why i have the “button” on them. The button is actually a fabric covered brad I found in the scrapbook section of the craft store. I put the brad through a transparent silk flower before adding it to the bikini. I thought they were so cute I made a leopard print one for my honey for Valentine’s Day. Actually, I thought they were so cute that I made them for this past Sunday’s card party. The one I made for my Valentine was a two sided card. On the front was the bikini bottoms on the back was the bikini top. I would download it but it seems it is still in his briefcase. So instead I’ll just show you this one. I got smart and stopped cutting the “lace” out of paper, instead I used wavy rickrack. Whether you call them bikini bottoms or thongs they are still just too cute. I love using a little heart stamp and stamping the bottom right cheek with a “tattoo”. By the way if you want to be a little bit more demure you can make Granny Panties or bloomers instead. Just make the panty legs a little lower.
