Catch a Wave w/AiFactory!

Happy Thursday my crafty peeps! I'm back with another card to share with y'all, although this time my ego may need a little boost cause I'm just not feeling this card. What I am feeling for sure though is that adorable little surfer dude clip art! He is so cute & his friends that accompany him in the set are just as sweet...you can grab them from AiFactory RIGHT HERE! Okay, I actually think if it wasn't for the super cute surfer kiddo on my card, I think it would be pretty blah. I kinda like the sentiment too & I added some raindrops to jazz it up a little & make it appear like water is on his surfboard, but I am not sure about the LO. I think that is what's getting me the most. The majority of the time I truly love what I create, but every once in awhile don't ya just feel like something you made isn't quite good enough? Please tell me I'm not the only one, although I do know that I am my own worst critic. I do like my papers too & think they give the card a rustic, tribal beach feel, but what do y'all think? What's missing...do you have any suggestions?
