Fun in the Sun

Hi all my dear friends!

What a storm we just had!  Thunder and lightning and so much rain!!!  I am not complaining because the garden needs the rain.  I will take some photos of my garden to show all of you.  I must admit I do love gardening as well. 

Well back to crafting!  I love this image from Mo manning the little boy playing in the sand is so lovely and take me back when my children was small and playing in the sand on the beach, but that was many a moon ago!  My son and his wife are expecting there 1st child and my daughter has 3 children!!!  So I am a bit long in the tooooooth!! Ha ha!!




Well here is my recipe:
The sketch I used was from Mo Manning
The main card is an A5 and is from card stock I had in my stash
My image is a digi stamp from Mo’s Digital Pencil too!
I coloured him in with Promarkers and distress the edges and made distressed clouds
I have cut another oval with the Cricut machine in lime green and layered my image on it and then layered it on Orange card stock that I Embossed with the Dots Embossing Folder
I took Yellow card edging I had in my stash and embossed that also with a single line of dots
With Red card I embossed flowers with another Cuttlebug Embossing Folder and cut it out and added brads to the middle of the flowers and glued to overhang my image
I took some play sand and glued it to some areas on the image and below the image to form sea sand and added some real small shells and little stones
I used blue card and embossed it with a scalloped edge embossing folder cut that out and put glitter on the ends to try and form the waves breaking on the beach   
Last but not least my Sentiment, I distressed the edges with red on the outside and formed a yellow sun like circle in the middle

Well I hope you all have fun looking at this card as I had fun making it.  All you comments highly appreciated and I am always open for more Ideas and advise!!

Happy crafting and Blogging!!!

 Thanks for stopping by!!
Until the next time!!

Lots of Love and Kisses!!
