Sunshine and Sandcastles

Here's the perfect antidote for all those boy's cards I've had to make lately, this one's unashamedly girly!
The sweet image is another free digi from Sliekje's Digital Stamps, if you haven't been for a look there yet, you're missing out on gorgeous cute images which are all free.  Here's the direct link to this image.  I've coloured this one with a mixture of Promarkers and Flexmarkers, highlighting with a few blobs of Pearl Pen.
The yumtastic papers are free with the current issue of Quick Cards Made Easy and are by Wild Rose Studios.  Its a delicious stack in beautiful shades  of raspberry and vanilla with a touch of subtle green.
The sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley set and has been given a hint of bling with some Star Dust Stickles and pink gems.
The distressed edges were all done with my Tim Holtz tool and I added to the shabby look by making a rolled rose from torn cardstock.
I finished off with my usual ribbon, bow and a few gems.

 I'm entering this card in the following challenges -
Deep Ocean - #28 - welcome summer
Joanna Sheen - summer daze
Lexi's Creations - #68 - at the beach
Digi Haven - #3 - summer
LEJ Designs - #9 - summer
Sassy Cheryl - #121 - summer
Crafty Cardmakers - #71 - handmade flowers
Corrosive Challenge - #152 - summer girls
Fab 'n' Funky - #127 - cute and girly
Inky Impressions - beach fun
I Love Promarkers - #123 - anything goes

    Hi Wendy
    Your card is a real delight! I love that sweet image - it's so nice to see a girl wearing glasses for a change. The colours and papers are fabulous.

    Wendy, could you add a direct link in your post to the free digi. I'd love to save it and figure others would too. I scrolled through several of Sliekje's posts looking for it but no luck just yet. :) I love all of her digis. So cute!
