DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS MALIBU RAIN

I adore dolphins!

I think everyone loves dolphins, but I had the privilege to not only swim with dolphins while we were on a Caribbean cruise many, many years ago, (the day I fell in love with them), but I also lived right on the beachfront along the Dolphin Coast for several years.  We had dolphins swim past every single day and I NEVER got tired of seeing them!  I have THOUSANDS of photographs of dolphins!

My family would probably describe me as a little obsessed, to be honest, because for 9 years living there, every single time I saw dolphins swimming by, I would shout out, ' DOLPHINS!!!' then rush outside with my camera.  I just didn't want to miss them, and didn't want anybody else to miss them either.  What a privilege!

This gorgeous image is one of the brand new releases at Digi Doodle Studios.  It's called Malibu Rain.  

I've doubled up and flipped one of the images so that I could have two of them facing each other.  I've coloured them with markers and added in an ocean behind them.  I've used a Sizzix heart die to cut them out, and to cut the other heart behind the image.

My papers are from the Heartfelt Creations Flowering Dogwood pack.  I wanted to keep the papers 'softer' than the image, so it would pop.  My flowers are Green Tara and 49 and Market.

I've added several laser cuts: the bubbles and seaweed are Scrapaholics; the little heart shaped reeds on the top left are 2Crafty; the sentiment is KaiserCraft.  I've sprayed them all with white Gesso.    The white swirls are Anna Belle embellishments.  I've also added a strip of white wispy stuff and tiny shells collected on our beachfront.

The day I fell in love:

BEACH BALL

This gorgeous image is from Cute As A Button.  It's called Beach Ball.  I decided not to go with a beach theme though, because I've done several recently, and I know a lovely girl who is pretty serious about her competitive swimming, and the image is perfect for her!

I've coloured the image with markers.  My paper is from the 49 and Market Island Paradise pack.  The sentiment was a magazine freebie and the fantastic swimming goodies are Jolee's.

Thanks so much for having a look!
