Who doesn’t want to spend the day at the beach playing in the sand?  I love going to the beach playing in the sand and water..sitting back reading a book.  Today I am sharing a card I made using an image from Sugarplum Summer Set.  These little gals are awesome and a fun colour.  I stamped the image onto white card stock coloured her up with Faber Castel Polychromo Pencils.  I cut a few things out using Cricut Joy.  I adhered everything to a white card base to make it all of the elements stand out.  This Clear Stamp Set along with many other including the last release are all up in the C.C Designs Shop.  Thanks for stopping by have a SUNNY day!!

I created my card with the new Mer-may stamp sets.  I first stamped the images and sentiment onto white card stock with Black Ink.  For those of you who know me I colored with my Prisma Pencils.  The background is some pattern paper I had and it was perfect to go along with the Mermaids.  I added a couple of sequins and the Sentiment and it was done.. Thanks for stopping by and have fun!!!
