Keeping cool.....

What a scorcher!  We're having an intense heat wave right now, and it's only June....what will the rest of the summer be like!  Definitely crafting weather.....housework, gardening...all that can wait!  So how about a new challenge at Charisma Cardz, this time with a SUMMER theme.


This could be me....'cool, calm and collected'....ha ha ha!  Not these days, and the bikini is definitely a thing of the past....but I can wish. (lol)  Coloured with copics, then just some pretty ribbon, a few gems, and some perfect pearls for the finishing touches.

Products used:
Stamp by Sparkle Creations – Swimming Lucy
Paper from Cosmo Cricket - Delovely Pad
