Fun in the Sun

This was a fun card to do as well as a first for me, I created this little scene with 5 Digis from Digis Stamp 4 Joy.  The largest scenic one is called Lake Walawi, the boat in the water is Dhow Boat,  the little boy with the fish is Caught One, the Log is the name and the girl leaning on it is Sitting Pretty.  I resized and place these using word and PNGS.

Colored with Copics, Glossy Accents was added to highlight various objects, a little stickles, and glitter, the sentiment is an old one from  the PSX,  the card size is 5"X7".
