Now, you can't see it, but the white part of the waves is covered with diamond Stickles. The green and brown shells also have stickles along the lines, and the hermit crab has stickles in the bubbles on his shell. (Yes, mom, a hermit crab. You and your hermies inspired me to put one on this card.) The main image you've seen me use before...but it's one of my favorites! It's a Simply Betty Stamps summer emo stamp...Betty, of course. =) I just love her cute little net skirt and the little skulls hanging from her parasol! The shells (and crab) are from Copic Marker Scrapbooking. All images were colored by Copics (and Glaze pens were also used on Betty's umbrella and eyes.) The surf board was cut from We R Memory Keepers' Sunsplashed line. It's called Surf's Up, and it's a page full of surf boards. The wave DP is from BoBunny, Barefoot & Bliss. The sentiment I printed out and colored using Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass.
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'd chat some more....but it's now ten after midnight and I'm exhausted. =D

Starla, this card is totally awesome dude (just couldn't resist using some surfer lingo lol). You have colored her fabulously...she looks like she already has her tan...just like your sentiment says. My dd would go nuts over that image with the skulls hanging from the umbrella and her little net skirt. Great idea with the hermit crab and all the stickles that you added (I clicked for a close up so that I could see it and it looks great).
