Beachy

 You know when you have an idea about how you want something to look, and then the finished card looks nothing like you intended it to ... well here is an example!!!!
 I used this gorgeous Mo Manning image, Finna, and masked her, so I could distress the background to create the sea and sand.  Lesson no 1 ...ink from the printer smudges when DIs are applied!!  I coloured Fina in using my prismas ... lesson no 2 ... my printer ink smudges when I use sansador!!  Finally I stickled her wings .. .that worked!!  The dp is a freebie digi I have from Shabby Princess (I think).  As the iamge is quite big I just stuck to the one paper, the pattern reminds me of shells.  I added a ribbon and bow to finish it off.

Well she came out beautiful in the end...but I know what your saying about the ink smudging.I found using my heat gun for awhile helps with the deep drying..if that makes sense.About 1 min. or so.
Beautiful image, she's very sweet.
Luv CHRISSYxx
