Bathing beauties

One of Patties newer images is the star of the show on this card - "Bathing beauties."

 

 I love this image - Bathing Beauties.

(There is another version of this image in her etsy store, too!)

I fussy-cut the image, after colouring with my alcohol pens and 

paper-piecing the girls swimming costumes!)

I used my alcohol pens to literally "dot" on the sand 

and used one of my favourite of-the-moment paper packs for the water4...

I ripped the edge carefully, to make it looks like waves coming onto the beach.

The "happy" is a diecut and the birthday has been stamped.
