Summertime.......

*****************

Summertime.........and the living is easy....

I have used two papers from  funky collection 2  and the lovely beach digi which I coloured digitally. It took just as long or even longer than using my usual copics but I love the result so it was worth it :-)
I pasted it on to a blank postcard image with the greeting and after cutting out, distressed the edges with my steel rule and some vintage photo ink.The ticket has also had the distressing treatment.




I chose these lovely pink flowers to compliment the tropical beach along with some punched leaves and some dyed string



Thanks for stopping by today. It would be lovely if you could join us for this challenge.
For some inspiration pop over to CACB and have a decco at my lovely DT buddies work. As always they have excelled in their interpretation of the challenge.
