The Stamping Chef - Monday Challenge Gal- Surfer Girl

Happy Saturday!

Today I have a cute image from The Stamping Chef.

She is Surfer Girl. (Surf's Up!)

I chose to have the image already coloured for me 

to show you how great this image is even if you don't colour.

You can get her here on Monday!

Every Monday on facebook  TSC Recipes has a challenge...

Check it out!!!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/TSCRecipes/

I used waterfall Stickles on the waves.. 

They were glitter paper already and then I

added Stickles to make it pop!!!!

I also added candy cane Stickles to crave the wave and 

the middle of the flowers..

Cause you know I LOVE Stickles!

The flowers and the waves and the sentiment were

all cut with my cricut and Lifes A Beach!

The paper is from my stash..

I did some paper piecing on the image... her bikini and the board!

This card is also for the Waterfall Stickles Linky Party!!!

at All That Stickles
