Tilda's Best Day Ever

Wow! The weather is glorious, quite fitting for the card i have made too!
I used my Magnolia stamp 'Tilda at Key Largo' ( More like Cornwall) lol!
The beach scene was created using a freebie from a mag, it's Crafters Companion (Jane Nestorenko).
I've used quite a few dies from different companies, La La Land Heart Banner, Joy Crafts Flip Flops,
Die-namics Lattice Fence.
DPs are Prima and  a freebie. The sentiment flag is Prima also.
I used Aged Ivory Fran-tage on the sand and Shabby White Fran-tage on the water.
