Hiya everyone,
I made this card although I'm not 100% happy with it. I've been so busy this week with other stuff I didn't really have too much time to spend on it. I like the way the image turned out but I'm not quite sure what bothers me about it Lol! I was trying not to be too fussy and I think it now looks too plain so I can't win! I coloured my image with my promarkers and have added very fine sand to the beach, glossy accents to the glass and crackle accents to the ice cube. It doesn't photograph too well though as it just looks too shiny.
Ah well, I made it to enter into the House Mouse and friends monday challenge which I will do anyway. The theme this time is to use your favourite stamp. This strictly isn't my favourite as I think my favourites are some of the christmassy ones but it was my favourite non-christmas one that I had. I will also enter this into any other challenges that I can find to fit the criteria.
