Time to Relax

Good Morning Everyone,

I don't know about you, but with all the dark, dreary days we have had here in Ohio, I sure could use something colorful and cheerful.  That's where the inspiration for my card came from today.  It looks like my little Sun Bathing Bee from I Brake For Digis is on vacation.  Exactly where I wish I was, this very minute :) 

The image is colored with Copics and the background and sentiment were created with traditional stamps to echo the flowers on the bee's beach towel.

Here is a close up of the Stickles I added to the wings and the Glossy Effects on the sunglasses for some shine.

Have a great day!
