This card has fun beachy feel, and I only used dies and designer series paper along with a retired embossing folder to create it. No stamping! Wow! The tote was cut from Woven Textures DSP, which is so cool for linen or straw tote bags. I really love the look that the new Beautiful Gallery DSP gives to the tote bag and the sunglasses too! I was looking for some type of print for the scarf that wasn't overpowering, I wanted subtle. I found it in Thoughtful Journey, which has carried over to the new catalog. Yay!
