My daughter and her boyfriend absolutely adored the Avengers, but when I said I wanted to see it, they informed me that I had to watch both Iron Mans, Captain America, and Thor so I would be up to speed. Well I've squeezed them all in and hope to see the Avengers sometime this weekend.
I also have a bit of a thing for Masterpiece Mystery and the new season of Sherlock Holmes just started so I've spent a few hours watching that too. Just needed to spend some time with my family and spend some time just vegging. :-)
So, the card is made with Mabelle's newest release, "Amelie to the Beach". Isn't she cute! After I colored her I had to laugh cause she looks like Gilligan. Don't cha think! LOL
The background is pieced together using a pattern you can find here at Mel Stampz. She really offers some awesome freebies. I added a few little punched shells that were painted with Pearl Perfect pearls and a little Glimmer Mist.
You can find Amelie right here in the Whimsy and Stars Studio store.
I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Hope you're having a great week!
