Relax

The eagle (or Pixie) has landed and by  the time this posts we should be just about awake after arriving at our destination mid-morning yesterday. And this is how I hope to spend the day (forget the bikini though - don't want to frighten the local population into running for the hills!):
I used:

- A6 cream card blank

-image by Mo Manning from Stamping Bella called 'Little Umbrella', coloured with Pro Markers and it also comes with the sentiment. Die cut and layered onto a piece of blue card which I hand cut by tracing round the die then wielding me little scissors. The birdies were just hand drawn after I'd done the clouds using a template, small duster brush and TH 'Tumbled Glass' 

- all SU backing card is 'Marina Mist' - any mist here and I wants me money back.

- patterned paper is from Echo Park's 'Hello Summer' paper pad and 
just a tickle of Glossy Accents on the sunspecs and parts of the cocktail glass.
