Bacon In The Sun!

Hello, I made this for this weeks Photo Inspiration Challenge at Catch The Bug! Here's the photo...

I used the Bacon In The Sun image from Bugaboo Stamps, I love this little pig! For the last 5 or 6 years my Daughter's & I have been going away in the summer with my Sister, Brother my Nieces & Nephew, my Mom & my Aunt. My Daughter Rachel couldn't make it this year as she's away working, so we all signed this card and mailed it to her to let her know we missed her.

I coloured the image with copics, and added crystal effects to his glasses and drink. The sand look was created using SU itty bitty background stamps and various brown inks. The sand castle is a YNS die. The water was created using the d-vine swirl EF, blue ink and some stickles. The star fish is an EK punch.
