Here is my card:
I used the Flourishes stamp set, Beach Life stamped in Amalgam Black ink
and colored with Copic Markers.
I also did some sponging with Distress inks to create my sea and sky.
Typically I have a difficult time creating 'scenes' but I think I got the perspectives right. I had to stamp the beach line 3 times, centered and then a bit more to the left and right, but I think it worked out well.
I added Glossy Accents to the sand bucket and beach ball.
Ahhhhh a tropical get away!!!
It's good for the soul!
Please come on over to the Double D Blog and join in all of the FUN!
You'll be glad you did as there is always a pretty prize up for grabs!
