Cut It Up Challenge #98

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's time for another Cut it Up Challenge. Challenge #98 is Sand and Surf and don't forget to use a die cut.
Our challenge is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps who provided this cute crab digital image for my project.

I used a sticker that I found in my stash from a Shop Hop that I went on about 4 years ago.  I just added some mats.  I used Jaded Blossom's Card Mat dies and Tropical dies as well.  The crab was colored using Prismacolor pencils and cut out with my Scan n Cut.  I decided not to use a blending agent but rather let the tooth of the paper show through.  I have a lot of experimenting to do using color pencils to determine what techniques and papers I like best.
I hope you'll join us in this challenge.  Don't forget to use a die cut.
