Cool Summer Fun

What could be more fun or cool than floating in the pool on a hot summer day?
I used a line stencil from My Favorite Things and sponged on 4 different blues. The cutie penquin is also from MFT. I stamped it on white scrap, colored it with pencils, then cut it out. It actually has feet but I snipped them off so he would appear to be floating. Then stamped the sentiment between the lines.
This is for the summer treat challenge at The Paper Players. Their image is of ice cream cones but they emphasized it did not have to include ice cream.

And while all the supplies were out, I did a second card
This one is actually a case of Karin's card at Peppermint Pattys-papercraft.blog. This is another stencil--actually called giraffe--from MTF. My water looks a little too purple. I think that blue must have a lot of red undertones. Here us her card,
