Cherished Seaside Chic

I just love this set and had to use it today. I stamped the image once on white and once on Certainly Celery pattern paper. I cut the dress out and attached it to the image on white then colored with copics. I added the blue water and sand with copics. The pacific point cs was dry embossed with divine swirls using my cuttlebug. I used the rest of the pattern paper sheet for panel 1 matted on certainly celery cs. The sentiment was stamped in pacific point.
Hope you like it. It sure feels good to have some central AC again so that I can stamp in comfort. Wheh!!
Now off to work I go.
