I would have to say this is my favorite Challenge to date!   

Every year we are lucky enough to go away to Aruba, and damn it if those Palm Trees just don't make me HAPPY!  

Plus it's usually in the midst of a dreary dark cold winter....plus open bars....am I setting the stage???  lol


This card will be entered into the following Challenges:

Simon Says Monday, Make Your Own Background.
Simon Says Wednesday, Anything Goes!

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!
