Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside.........

Hi everyone! Have you missed me? I've been having some time out to celebrate my birthday on Tuesday and my older Son and his Girlfriend came over on Thursday to celebrate her birthday. The weather has been glorious here too so that was an added bonus. 

For my birthday i received lots of new stamps and dies but for my card today i'm using one of my older Tildas 'Key West Tilda' and i coloured her with Copics and DM's. I cut one of my Memory Box star dies, Marianne vine circle and a Cheery Lynn butterfly die. The base card was cut from TH Coredinations CS using my Grand Nesties and the DP is Basic Grey's 6x6 Serenade and was also cut with my GN's. I also used some spotty paper from BMD and Coredinations Whitewash CS, finished it all off with a grosgrain bow, some pearls and a home decorated pin.
