A LITTLE LUXURY AT ATCAS.

Hi lovely crafters - thanks for popping in, and yes, it's ATCAS challenge time again! (please note - this challenge will end on 5th September, so just one week to join in the fun, instead of the usual 2 weeks).
*******  
The very talented Sandie is your host, and she has chosen this Code Word -
lots of scope - I'm sure we all have our own ideas of "Luxury"! 
Look forward to seeing your fab. creations!




The fab. image is "Little Umbrella" from Mo Manning, coloured with Copics. 
I added a quick swipe of ink for sky and sand with SU Soft Sky and Crumb Cake. 
I hand-cut the rectangular aperture - added an embossed border with my 
SU Simply Scored.  
Sentiment - SU "Happy Day" stamp set (now retired).
Small punched circle for the "sun"!
****
I am also linking up with Chrissie's LIM challenge - "I do like to be beside the seaside"!
A Gem of a Challenge - It's Summertime!

**********
Our CAS Perfectionist will receive a $15 GIFT VOUCHER to spend at
 Inspired by Stamping
Many thanks to Joanna for her generosity. 

Happy Crafting

Wonderful colouring and what I'd give to swap places with her now, on the beach in the sun with a cocktail! Great interpretation of the code word, I think everyone would agree! x
