Colorful Cabana Critics

Some friendships are built on deep conversations and heartfelt advice… and some are built on judging people walking by from the comfort of a poolside cabana. 😂

Today’s card features the absolutely fabulous Cabana Critics from the June 2026 Kit of the Month by Unity Stamp Co. and honestly? These ladies are a whole mood. The second I saw this image, I knew they deserved a bright tropical background and plenty of personality.

Bringing the Background to Life

The background started with a little ink-sprayed chaos — my favorite kind! I used three Distress Ink Sprays:

• Saltwater Taffy

• Mustard Seed

• Cracked Pistachio

I sprayed the colors onto watercolor cardstock, letting them blend and mingle naturally for that carefree summer vibe. The mix of warm pinks, sunny yellows, and fresh greens instantly reminded me of retro resort colors and fruity poolside drinks.

The best part? Those spray colors completely inspired the Copic coloring for the ladies. I pulled similar tones into their outfits and accessories so everything would coordinate without feeling too matchy-matchy. The result feels bright, playful, and perfectly sassy — just like the image itself.

A Little Shade & A Lot of Style

Can we talk about their expressions for a second? These ladies look like they’ve already judged everyone’s swimsuit choices, ranked the resort cocktails, and started a rumor about someone named Linda.

And honestly… I support it. 😂

I kept the design fairly clean so the image and colorful background could steal the spotlight. A few simple embellishments and layered die cuts were all this card needed.

Why I Love This Stamp

The Cabana Critics stamp perfectly captures that fun, cheeky summer energy. It’s playful, relatable, and packed with personality — which makes coloring it even more fun. If you love character stamps that tell a story, this one is definitely going to become a favorite.
