Then added foam dots to the rest of the coloured images,and added them .

I matted the watercolour paper on a red paper.

And added it on to my card base.

Added some cute Alphabet puffy sticker with glitter

Hi Peeps here's another cutie I found on Simon Says Stamp Shop...she's sing

I like her Hawaiian look...

For this card I was inspired by Anyone for Anya and Frends Challenge- Photo

Wow look at the clear blue sea and the coconut trees....I want to go there for a holiday!

So for my card I choose to use the colours blues and greens.

I have also used Jen's Deconstructed sketch 15

And here is my card .....ta da

I started with a white cardstock as my base and stain it,

with Tim Holtz's broken china distress stain.

( saw his video- it's so cool wanted to give it a try.I love it!)

It gives the effect of the sea water.

The paper is Basic Grey's Oxford collection.

The starfish ribbon is from my ReallyReasonableRibbons ,

August ribbon club pack .Just nice to use for this card.

Have embellished the card with blue gems,ribbon and flowers.

The small punch out flowers are leftovers of a boarder punch,Have used Wild Orchid Crafts FS00147 Deep Turqoise Cherry Blossom and blue gypsophila flowers and Prima flowers for the tag.

the leaves is a quickutz's die.

I inked her flower and her instrument orange red for a tropical look.
