ATS - Side Step Card!

I had never made a side-step card before, and I almost didn't have time to try this week!  But I really wanted to give it a whirl, so I made this card for the:
It took me 3 tries.  ROFL  It was my fault, though, I wasn't following the instructions carefully.  Anyway, I love the way it came out - it was worth the effort!  I am also entering this into the following challenges:









Pile It On! - Life is a Picnic* 

*(cuz to me, life is a picnic if you can spend it at the beach hanging out with mermaids, building sandcastles and surfing!)  

I used Surfer Emma and Mermaid Beach/rock/fish digis from the All That Scraps store along with a couple of stamps from My Favorite Things (shovel & pail and shells) and a sandcastle digi image from Tiddly Inks.  :)  Everything is colored with Prismacolor pencils & mineral spirits and Prismacolor markers, with glitter thrown in.  Cardstock is from SU!  Peace.
