Dare to be Sassy Thursday Challenge

Happy Thursday Everyone!

I'm sorry to say this is my last card as May's Guest Designer at Sassy Studio Designs and I would like to extend a HUGE THANK YOU to the team & leaders at SSD for being so kind and generous!  I've had a fabulous time creating with these amazing images!  

Today's challenge is:

HITTING THE BEACH


The image is called "Polka Dot Bikini"  . . . do you remember that song?  "She wore an itsy, bitsy, teenie, weenie, yellow polka dot bikini" . . .  well you know the rest I'm sure!  I decided to create the background myself using masking, sponges and TH distress inks because I wanted all the focus to be on HER!

I hope you'll come join in this BEACHY fun challenge and thanks so much for stopping by today ... I truly appreciate you taking the time!

But, before I go ... here are a few other challenges I'd like to share this creation with:
