On a piece of glossy white cardstock I sponged Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Tempting Turquoise and Not Quite Navy. To create the sea foam I added ColorBox Frost White to the middle.
For the illusion of sand, I stamped my unmounted Texture Wheel on the Crumb Cake corner first in Soft Suede then again with Early Espresso. I applied Diamond Stickles to the sand to create some sparkle then glued to the paper miniature sea shells.
The inside sentiment was stamped in StazOn Black and then sponged with Crumb Cake, Soft Suede & Tempting Turquoise.
I hope you get a chance to relax by the beach this summer!

Donna,
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you have created with virtually just inks. Who knew ink could be such a powerful design tool with a sponge. This is gorgeous.
A lovely card, Donna. I miss being near the ocean, but am near Grandkids! Not much time to stamp this summer, though.
