Wish I was there!

ETA: I got Top 5 at Crafty Cardmakers
It's been a really yeuchy day here ... started raining this morning and barely stopped all day.  So I was pleased to see that there's a few summery challenges out there in blogland, cause it certainly is NOT summer here IRL!

Coloured this wee image from Your Next Stamp with promarkers, popped it up on dimensionals and then popped Ellie up again.  I don't think you usually get dragonflies at the beach, but I had a big empty space that needed something !
Added orange stickles to the little starfish, smooch illuminate to the bottle, clear gloss to the sunglasses, Tim Holtz embossing folder, dragonfly buttons, clear gem to the flower on her hat.

I love your beach scene! Picnic Ellie looks like she's enjoying the sun! It's been rainy here all week so I'm ready for some nice hot sun too! Thanks for joining us for our YNS Pop It Up Challenge.

Really cute and summery, Lynne, and nice to be thinking of summer if you've had some yukky weather. I wanted to make a card for this challenge because that inspiration photo is so gorgeous, but not sure I'll get round to it.

Oh and thanks for the heads up about Cupcake....I logged in to check the latest challenge and found that scrummy bakers twine was mine all mine! lol. I also found that I had an extra sheet of paper in the latest Prima pack I bought, so that's what I call a lucky day, he he. Have a good week, petal. CoB
