By the Sea at 4 Crafty Chicks - GDT!!

Well it's definitely not beach weather here in Sunbury, it's 9 Degrees and raining!! A great day to be indoors. Would have been an awesome day to spend in my PJ's but don't think my kids would have appreciated me taking them to school and kinder in them..LOL
Anyway, it's my third week (already) as a GDT at the 4 Crafty Chicks and it's a summer theme of By the Sea... I enjoyed making this card but it was a card that kept changing as I got different ideas and decided to do a bit of recycling!!

Doesn't this just scream summer!!! I have had cards and LO's lying around for a long time gathering dust so I decided to pull some apart for this card!! The sand was from a card that someone had made as part of a swap... it was sand stuck on double sided sticker paper and the sentiment which is from Kaszazz was from a LO . I just tore some blue CS for the sea and scrunched it up then added my Tickled Pink Stamp Li'l Lad Stefan which is coloured in with Tria markers, added the dolphin which is also coloured with tria markers and a bit of shimmer chalk brushed over it!!  To finish the card I added the button and ribbon to make the sun!! Looking at the card now I could have possibly added some clouds but still happy with it!! Thanks to the 4 Crafty Chicks for helping me make the decision of whether to have the dolphin or not!!
So now it's your turn to join in the fun and see what the 4 Crafty Chicks have created so head on over to the 4CC blog now!!
