I couldn't think of better little lady than Beachbound Lili to use for a summerfun creation.  I had bought some gorgeous My Minds eye papers at Michaels when I was in Florida with a real vintage colour theme - I hadn't seen them before and thought Lili would make a perfect little 60's babe to use with them. Be sure to check out our newest stamps from our May release, they are ALL about summer!

She's looking a bit pale in this photograph - she's really got a much better tan than this - cos she's been on holiday anywhere but here!!  I thought it would make a perfect retirement card for a dear friend of mine who retires in a couple of weeks and plans a lovely 

cruise holiday - and lots of other holidays! -after her retirement.

Here's what I did....

Stamp - inky Impressions - beach bound Lili

Coloured with copics, a touch of prismacolor pencils and white gel pen

Dies - all spellbinders

Flowers - wild orchid crafts

Charm - Inky impressions butterfly

Pearls - inky impressions flat back pearls
