who not only owns the website Pink Gem Designs but is also the designer and creator of our gorgeous images, so do go and visit her website and see for yourself what stunning and usable images, papers there are to buy.
And to create my card I used this Andy with his little friend.

For this design I have used "Andy with a Frog" and you will find him here, and I printed him onto white card before colouring him with my copic pens, afterwards I cut him out completely ready to stick him to the main card.
This was created with a 6.50"x 6.50" white card and for the first mount I have used blue card and the backing paper is also from Pink Gem Designs and you will find it here and the umbrella and fence here.
This were them laid as shown in the photo and my image was stuck towards the right in the water, to finish of I have stamped a sentiment from my stash and mounted this also onto blue card and placed two ship buttons on the water line.

The sentiment is one from my stash and has been stamped and mounted in the same way as the image.

The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with another piece of the same yellow card for the first mount the papers this time are from Pink Gem Designs and are called "Licorice Cream" and I used two of the designs and laid them across the card and a Martha Stewart border punch along the edge of it and then put a piece of yellow ribbon just under this edge.
