Sweet Stampin with Charisma

How chuffed am I?
When I got back from my holiday, I was delighted to receive an invitation from my old buddies at
asking me to be their Guest Designer for June.  Of course I accepted on the spot!!!
This week their challenge is "Playing in the Summer Sun" so, equipped with my new stash, I have created a card using sweet Tilda in her cute-as-a-button sailor suit and coloured her with Copics.
Please do come and play along with the team this week where the monthly sponsor is Prairie Fairy who are giving away an amazing 5 digis and our weekly sponsor is the always adorable Lili of the Valley who have a £10 voucher to give away.
My papers are all new stash from DCWV - the burberry style DP is from The Natural Collection, the sparkly blue DP is from Whimsy and the map is from Trade Winds I think (I'm in a bit of a muddle with all of this new stash!).  I punched out an anchor with a newly acquired MS punch and added a few seashells collected from Siesta Key beach last week.  There I was in Florida making almost daily trips to Jo-Anne's and Michaels Craft Stores and I suddenly realised that the three mile beach walk I was taking on a regular basis provided a ready supply of natural embellishments.  I picked up these three seashells with this little Tilda in mind so it was serendipitous that Sweet Stampin then contacted me to tell me about their theme this week.
I have added an LOTV sentiment and also a little Dress It Up button seagull (yup-also a recent buy in America) which entitles me to enter my card into the challenge at Charisma Cardz who want to see "something that flies".
The ribbons are from my stash.

I'm off to The Craft Barn extravaganza today - perhaps I will see some of you there!
And, if not, I promise, promise, promise, to catch up with all of my blog buddies next week!
