I chose to use one of my all time favorite Tiddly Images - Bathing Beauty. I printed her out three times. I then paper pieced her bathing suit and cap along with her swell rose colored floatie! I colored the rest of my
beauty with my Copics.

My papers are all American Crafts except for the Kraft base (SU!). The little toy boat is also an older SU! stamp. I created my sunset background by taking Real Red and Daffodil (SU! inks) and an Inky spot by Inkadinkado in Pumpkin. I sponged them all together to create the beautiful sunset. I then layered and stitched the sunset onto a super bright pink (almost looks red) polka dotted background and created my waves out of rows of scallops. I added two floral glass headed pins as tiny adornments in my waves.
My interior uses the same papers from the AC selection. I've used a PTI sentiment and my nesties to create a cute and oh so bright eye catching center. I also stitched the interior to create harmony between the interior and exterior.
I do hope you join us for this fun and easy challenge!!!
