CardzTv challenge

I made this card as part of a challenge for the Cardz TV blog Fathers day - Beach challenge. Have a look here http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2011/06/fathers-day-beach-challenge.html

I was really excited to have a go as I haven't done one of these before and I love my "Life's a beach" cartridge. So I used a white card and a blue mat. Then I got to work on my Cricut and cut out the gorgeous little shapes - palm tree, deckchair, surfboard, sun, waves, font and whale. I used my "Fabulous Finds" cartridge to cut out the red tap following the plane and printed out "Have a whale of a" on my computer. I didn't have a Cricut cartridge that has a plane on it so tonight Greg and I walked to Michaels but they didn't have a suitable one so we found a great one in clipart and used that which I think looks perfect. I used some white cotton to tie that to the tag and finished off with some gemstones for the coconuts in the palm tree. Hope I win the competition, but even if I don't I know Dad will like the card for Fathers Day.
