Wishing I Was There....

Merry Christmas everyone....It's Christmas Eve!!!   Tomorrow is the big day, and most people like snow for Christmas....no?  But wouldn't another side of you like to be walking barefoot on the beach as depicted in this image by The Character Cafe? 

This week's challenge is for Dazzle and Sparkle, and the DT creations are rather special this week as we've all worked up an image that is a personal favourite.  For those who aren't aware, The Character Cafe challenges are finishing at the end of this month, but the good news is that the store will remain open!

The image I've chosen is Walk the Beach, and that sand looks so inviting.  I've coloured with Prismas and sponged with distress inks, for a nice soft warm look.....adding glamour dust to the water's edge.  It's then cut out with my Nestie die and backed with a square of bronze glitter paper.  The shells are some that I picked up on my Florida vacation back in October.  Some stickles, gems and a bit of ribbon and I was done.  The most difficult part of this card was finding the right DP in my stash!

Be sure to check out the rest of the team's projects, as I'm sure you'll find lots of inspiration this week.  Pick out your favourite image and head on over to the store, where all images are being offered for only $1.
