Make a splash at Sketch Saturday!!

Good Afternoon! I'm sneaking onto the computer while the boys are busy playing chess. Would you guess that chess is the hottest thing in my house these days??? They are mad for it ...they play game after game and right now they are out in the sun mastering the intricacies of check mate and stale mate!

Anyway, onto the card! This fabulous image is from Pink Gem Designs and is called Sea Shell Mimi. Isn't she just perfect for summer cards?? I coloured her with prismas and then chalked in the sky with some pearlescent chalk for shimmer. The colours are more vivid in real life..taking piccies outside in the sun seems to wash out the colours a bit.

I was delighted to find some starfish and shell charms lurking in the bottom of a box and they fitted perfectly with this image.

Not much else to say except I followed this weeks Sketch Saturday for my layout! Thanks Gill..it is a goodie!

Hope the sun is still shining where you are. Don't forget to enter my blog candy! Still have a few days left!

I'll be adding this card to my Etsy shop later..so check back if you're interested in it!
