A Taste of Summer

The current monthly challenge over at Crafters Companion is 'Here comes summer'. I decided to get out my Jane Nestrorenko Summer Adorables stamps and CD.
I've used a beach scene from the CD and stamped the donkey in Black Soot Distress ink and coloured with Spectrum Noir's. I alse created a sand background using a stamp from the same set with Vintage Photo and Brushed Corduroy distress ink.

I'm also entering this card over at:
