I used some of my old scrapbooking techniques on this card by tearing cardstock and inking the edges to make the sand on the beach.
It has been so warm here in Texas that the only place that feels good is in the water and so this card makes me want the beach as well as the neighborhood pool. But it's a Staycation for us this year and so the fun is close to home.
Hope you can keep cool in the Summer weather and maybe an afternoon in crafting would be a good idea!

Happy Birthday! - With a "Wee" little Girl! (and a HUGE piece of news from me!!)

I have been holding in some super news for the past few days and now I'm allowed to spill!! Cuddly Buddly decided that now they have 7 Digital Artists that it was time to have a dedicated team working to promote the fabulous images through bi-weekly challenges and ......I'm on the team!!!!!!
Cuddly Buddly were one of the first places I bought digital stamps from over two years after seeing them in a card magazine I bought on a trip home to England. Over the past two years I have been steadily gathering a selection of images and now I get to use them for you all to see!!!
One of the latest artists draws a line called "Wee Stamps" and today I have a card featuring one of those images (and I had this one even before they put a DT call out!)
I like that I can choose from a variety of artists all in one place and have them all with me seconds after I check out, gotta love that!
I am super excited and after all the harrowing weather the midwest, Texas and southern states have been having it is nice to have something to smile about so I hope you'll celebrate this new team with me!
There are some fabulous DT members there, you can see them on the side bar of the Cuddly Buddly blog, I have no idea how I got picked but I am super excited.
And for you that are "Challenge Addicts" like me be sure to check back on July 1st when Challenge #1 will be launched and I have the honor of choosing the first challenge theme!

This little girl is so sweet and innocent looking, carrying her basket of flowers and cute little bunny friend.
I popped up the whole image on to foam as I could make a space underneath for the lace and ribbon and so all of it sits so nice and smoothly.
I used chalk ink on all the layers for a little vintage feel, I think it goes well with the designs and colors of the patterned paper.
I really hope you like this and be sure to come back tomorrow for a brand new Design Team Challenge at Designed 2 Delight!

It is so hard to get a good photograph of an easel card but I've taken a few shots so I hope you get a good view.

I inked all the edges of the mats and papers to go along with the Shabby Chic style but not too "grungy" as the image is so sweet and gentle.

I added another gorgeous Bronte Bloom to the message mat, I adore these flowers!

I've had this Tilda since she was released but, shame on me, I'd never made a card with her until now!

More gorgeous flowers, a die cut border and an embossed mat.
I had a lot of fun with this card and hope you love it too.
Be sure to add your Monday Maggie to the Inlinkz and I'll come along and she your wonderful creation!
