A Touch of Humour

Hi everyone.  I thought I'd try to lighten things up a bit today with a bit of humour.  With the cooler weather now on the way, the southern beaches and resorts will soon be getting their northern visitors....I even know of a few! 


This little cutie is all ready to head south, and should prove quite the attraction!  As you can see, lots of distress ink...around the image, for the stenciled flowers and also on the card blank which I both sponged and stamped.  Another stencil was used to create the zig-zag edging, and you'll find some added glitter for the flower centres and the image edge.

Supplies used:
Beach Baby Jayme digi image from Crissy Armstrong
Mature sentiment stamp from Art Impressions
Marble Texture Cube from Stampendous
Deckled Rectangles die from Spellbinders

Thanks for visiting and have a crafty day!
