On the beach

It would be nice to be on the beach in the sun. At least the sun has now come out a bit (since I said in my previous post that it didn't look like summer looking out of the window).

I've used an offcut piece from the DCWV paper that I used for the previous card (I might even make another couple of cards to use up the rest of the 12 x 12 instead of putting it in the offcuts box), so this is an opportunity to have a gentle stroll in the playground at Pixie's crafty snippets 29 - I might even feel like a gentle turn on the swings, which shows that I'm feeling a bit better - also for Hiding in my craftroom 54: super scraps Saturday.

The main image is a Delicious doodles 'beach huts' digital stamp coloured with copics and Marvy le plume alcohol pens. I also used their 'deckchair' image, printed it and cut it out to stick on the main image. In retrospect I gave myself a harder job than I needed to do because I cut out the tiny bits and then realised that I could have just coloured the white paper with the yellow to match the sand! I've added a pair of the sunglasses from stash like the previous card. The striped papers are from my snippets.
