Sunshiney Birthday

Time for a new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown and it's Birthday Party!!  Perfect since yesterday was my birthday, and the sponsor is one of my all time favorites!!

It's no secret I love love love Saturated Canary!  It's so easy to create with Krista's images and the inspiration just seems to pour out of them.  So I was stoked when she said yes to being our sponsor for this week!!  She graciously offered the design team an image to work with, but I decided to use a couple for my card this week.
I'm so happy with how it all turned out.  I've actually been working on this card for about a month now and it just didn't seem to be coming together at all!  But I stuck with it and finally got it right :)

The cuties I used on this card are Smokin Hot, Cali Girl, and Ani.  They all fit perfectly into the beach theme, and since I'm craving the beach so bad, I figured that would be a great theme for my card.  I die cut out some palm trees and then tore up some sand colored paper for the different steps.  I've had these beach stickers in my stash for just about ever, and thought they would work well on this card.  So I pulled a few out and stuck em on.
Matthew suggested the dolphin, which I wasn't going to add at first, but now I'm glad I did because it just seems to work.
All the cute girlies are colored in with a combination of ShinHan, Copic, and Spectrum Noir markers.  I love playing with those!  I'm working on building my ShinHan collection, but don't have enough to cover multiple color groups, so I have to combine different brands for a little while.  But I'm getting there!

I hope you will join us this week for our fun challenge, and the chance to win some gorgeous images from Saturated Canary!!!
