Cute Card Thursday #73

This week over at Cute Card Thursday they asked for 'At The Beach'.


I used a gorgeous image that I recieved as RAK so I'm afraid I'm not sure who or what it is :( But I do know she's gorgeous!



I coloured her with my WC pencils as I feel this type of image needs a 'washed' look. I backed the image onto a piece of card that I'd made a faux frame out of DST and sawdust!!!

And I also added some real shells from the real beach close to us :)
