Oh my God...what a gorgeous card!!! I LOVE it! I LOVE it!!!! This looks sooo beautiful and girl...how did you make the background? I love red and blue Christmas cards and was thinking of this stamp today as well, but first did my Birthday card and spent the rest of the afternoon with a book. Your coloruing is awsome...how often did I tell you this? ;)....but this can't be told enough! What a FANTASTIC card dear!!!
Martina

P.S.: Hope you can find your son's swimming trunks!
