Here is the card I created for the hop.
I used Discount Card Stocks's - Teal, Frosted Teal Prismatic, and Brilliant White.
The twine I used is The Twinery's - Caribbean and Lemondrop.

The image is "On The Beach" and the sentiment is "Sunny Side Up" both from Inky Antics but I took a little artistic licence with it. She originally had a 1 piece bathing suit but, since we are featuring twine, I thought it would be fun to give her a string bikini!
Before...
And after a little creative masking and some doodling with a Micron Pigma pen ... voila!
It's an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polk-a-dot bikini!
