Paradise...


Happy Friday!

I'm just popping in to share with you a card I made for my sister's birthday.  I hope all is well with you!  I just love this stamp that I recently purchased from Sweet n' Sassy.  The image is a perfect
paradise of relaxation.  My sister has a cottage on the lake and enjoys her time of watching the sea gulls and the beautiful boats on the water. 

I wanted the card to have a soft feel to it so I stamped the image with crumb cake ink from SU.  I then used my blender pen to fill in the image.  I added stickles to highlight the waves.  Twine and pearls were added for the final touch.  Well, that's it from me for now.  I may work on another card or two this weekend.  Thank you very much for stopping by today.  It's appreciated!  Take care, hugs!
