Sun, Sea, Surf I wish

Oh my... the kids are breaking up from school in one week and the weather is so rubbish that I am dreading it. It's so difficult to amuse young kids when the great outdoors is so wet and unappealing. I'm going to start doing a sun dance.

Just to cheer myself up I decided to make a very summery card, you never know it might just make summer materialise ;o)
When I saw this image it was just like looking in the mirror, I admit that my hair isn't that long, more shoulder length but the rest is spot on he he ;o).
This gorgeous gal is by Krista Smith over at Saturated Canary. She has been coloured with promarkers, the papers came free in an edition of Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine. The die cut waves are from a die I bought over at MMCS and I made the sentiment myself and printed it out on another of the free papers from the mag. I added lots of gems including a sun, thought I'd tell you that the gems top right are supposed to look like the sun just incase it wasn't obvious lol. Did you spot the belly button ring? (gem) I used to have my belly button pierced but I took it out and forgot to put another in straight away, my goodness it healed quickly, literally over night doh.

Happy Crafting.
Mel :o)
