It's been a while since I posted a card. I went to PA last week to be sworn in as co-executor of my Dad's estate. It was a bittersweet and emotional visit. I did enjoy hanging out with two of my brothers and two nieces.
Today's card is for my SIL's birthday. I chose JJ Beach from Bugaboo Stamps. My BIL is having some health issues and I know they are wishing they were sitting on the beach somewhere! She is colored with copics, cut out with Lawn Fawn large stitched rectangle die, clear wink of stella on her sunglasses and lips, glossy accents on the drinks as well as her sunglasses. The layout is for Stella Says Sketch #604. The drink and striped digi paper is from J Laurie Studio on Etsy and the cs is from Craft Smith. Ribbon from Craft Smart, pearls, colored with copics by Recollections, drink sticker from Jolee's Boutique, and sentiment from Birds Cards (I think...couldn't find it) cut out with SB large circles die and matted with SB large scalloped die.
