Craft your days away challenge #25 ~ Summertime DT card

It's challenge time again at Craft your days away. The challenge 'summertime' has been set by the lovely Donna.

This is my take on the theme. I have used an image from Victoria Case aptly called SUMMER and you can buy her here.

I have coloured her with promarkers, then glazed her eyes, the spots on her bikini, the crab, suncream and leaves, I created the sea with promarkers and a copicatyou clear glitter pen for the sparkle you see on the sea. The sand i created by adding lots of different coloured brown spots then colouring over with a sandstone promarker, I then added some toffee flowersoft and some shells, the sky was created using tim holtz tumbled glass distress ink, I then penciled in the birds. I then framed her and added some shells . The DP is from forever friends, I have added a gingham border and glued some hot pink flowers to this. The beach ball was a freebie which I have coloured with promarkers. I finished off with some pearls and a circle sentiment from hobby paleis and the bottom sentiment is computer generated.
