I sent this to Barbara in Switzerland
I hope Barbara likes her card - I had loads of fun making it for her, and also dreaming of sunny holidays at the beach. The towel was made by stamping Simon Hurley Cling Painted Lines in three different colours. The sunglasses come from a very old, but very cute Hero Arts Background Cling, and the flip-flops are from a retired Hero Arts block set. Typing this, I'm beginning to realise just how old some of the stamps in my collection actually are. The Relax die cut is still available here.
I received this beautiful card from Gundi in Germany. Just look at all the sweet details she's included.
I think our Reveals just get better and better each month, but don't just take my word for it - please drop by and take a look!

Fantastic design and perfect for a beach scene.
What a wonderful beach scene. love how you have done the sand and the sea and a great sentiment too xx
Ooooh wish I was there instead of here in the rain LOL
Love your happy beach scene, Jo. I hear you about the old(er) supplies in your stash. Some of them never go out of fashion.
I have to confess I have not been to the beach yet, despite our Cretan weather. But then, I can use the pool next door until next Tuesday, when new Airbnb guests will be arriving.
Gundi's beach scene looks amazing as well.
