Feel free to post the promo yourself! That's totally okay!

(My next regular update will not be until Saturday, but you probably don't want to wait this long. Feel free to go ahead.)

From:

tinny

Just to let you know: I posted the new challenges today (instead of tomorrow as planned) and promoted your battle along with it.

Wow, I love the vibrant coloring in these. My fave is the last one - the dark red and blue lines contrast beautifully with the yellow, orange and light blue.

Thank you! ♥

When I think of summer, I automatically think of: Beach, Ice-Cream, Traveling, and Shades. I decided to use stock, because it's always fun to use stock to showcase summer :)

Those are gorgeous! Pure vacation feeling! <3

From:

littlemissnovella

Thanks so much! :D

From:

Yay, icecream! I love that and the last one, the latter is so relaxing....

From:

littlemissnovella

I had to find somewhere to relax cause that's what vacation/summer is all about (although this summer I was stuck in classes and having a week long vacation, but sacrifices and all that) :D

Also, Ice-cream makes everything better :D

From:

tinny

p.s.: it would be great if you could put the image links as plain text into the comment instead of links. that is much more convenient for me, because then i can copy them all at once instead of one at a time.

no need to change it for this time, i just thought i'd let you know for the future. thank you!

From:

littlemissnovella

Sorry about that! I'll keep that in mind for the future since I wasn't so sure how to properly post the images!

From:

breyzyyin

These are lovely! ♥

Since I'm all about Black Sails right now, I couldn't resist iconing its beautiful scenery. Sun, sky, and the Carribean sea... *G*

I rally love the softness and hazy look in your icons! My favorites are your second and third icons!

From:

tinny

Thank you so much! I specifically tried to make them look soft and glowy, because that's hard for me. I'm glad it worked!

From:

sallymn

So gorgeous, and romantic! Age of Sail indeed.....

Thank you! <3

I love the coloring on your icons! ♥

If I were to be absolutely honest (Aussie here) August is still winter - and not the picturesque sort either. So the icons would all be of heaters, bedsocks, drizzly rain...

So I fastforward to January and visiting the relatives on the coast for inspiration - reading, writing or doing absolutely nothing by the sea :) And icecream because it makes everything better.

Hee //). I specifically avoided the word Summer in the challenge - I thought winter sun would work just as well. I hope it didn't feel too weird for you.

The resulting icons are beautiful. I love their color scheme of light blue and yellow!

From:

sallymn

Hey, if we were talking summer rather than vacation... you could have had 5 lovely icons of, umm, my airconditioner?????

Thank you!

From:

littlemissnovella

Is it really cold during your winters? just asking out of curiosity!

Anyway, I really love your coloring schemes, from the bright blues and yellows and what your picked for summer (car, beach, ice-cream, reading!)

My favorites are your third and fifth icon!

From:

sallymn

Thank you!

We think it's cold in winter, but those of you from the Northern Hemisphere would find our shivers rather amusing.... it was -3 Celcius last night and that was FREEZING by our standards. It's more drizzly cold than really bad, probably.

And thank you! I have a sibling who lives by the sea, so this is what I like to do when I visit her :)
