Connie-It'za Beach!

I was "revisiting" some of the original Sweet Pea images and came across one of 

my favorites from Plate #5 which I have labeled

"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!"

You can check this great plate of stamps out
HERE

My card is a simple, just-plain FUN card as you can see.

I began with a yellow base and cut some blue Bazzill Basics with specialty scissors to imitate waves.

I layered some sandpaper at the bottom for my "beach" cut with another specialty scissors.

Then I cut a wavy strip of  brown paper scrap for my palm tree and added some tropical leaf brads.

I think I got the palm tree a little on the small side but hope you see the {big picture} here?

I stamped the Beach Girl and colored her with Copic markers and being the

lazy stamper that I am, I did not cut her out fully, but rather left her on a white background.

I justified this to myself by thinking she would stand out more on white than cut out.....not sure

if that flies, but it sounded good to me at the time.

I stamped the verse that comes with this plate in the upper right corner with 

Tuxedo black by Memento.

I love the perky lines of this Sweet Pea image and there are more girls on the

same plate as well!
