Summer Fun

Sand Pail Card

I love vintage images. I found this "freebie" on Create with TLC. Check out their fabulous site. I colored the image with colored pencils and chalk. The card is embellished with real sand and shells. It has a string handle. It reminds me of the hours I spent as a child playing in a sandbox or at the beach.
