Life´s a Beach with Earth, Wind or Fire

Good morning peeps, hope you all had a lovely weekend. Looks like everyone is having a heatwave although it is a tad too hot for me.

Die Cut Dreams theme for this week is

Life´s a Beach

So let´s see your seaside themed cards and projects.

I knew straight away which stamp I was going to use and can you believe this is the first time I have inked her up. I have coloured Tilda with copics and raised her with 3d pads. I love this set of sentiments from SU and was so lucky to receive these as a birthday present from a dear friend and fellow DT, thanks again sweetie. I have cut them out with my nesties and mounted onto yet more. Papers are from the Vintage Collection available at Bearly Mine Designs and the flowers are of coarse from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Challenges:
Just Magnolia - Sketch by Bev
Allsorts - Embossing
Corrosive - Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

Good morning peeps, I hope your day has got off to a good start ... hey not long to the weekend so plenty of "me" time ahead. I spent the day in Gibraltar yesterday and literally shopped until I dropped and came home with more than a few outfits so now I am all set up for the summer.

I have inked up Baby Blanket and coloured with my Copics. I adore this image because it reminds me so much of our youngest grandson Daniel, whenever he is tired he reaches for his muslin.Fancied trying my hand at distressing but have no tool so had a play with my scissors so may now invest in the proper gadget, I then glittered all the edges with glamour dust.
