I made this card for two challenges, SC224 and CD12 that can be found on dancerriley's blog here: http://dancerriley.blogspot.com/
I am very happy with how this came out. I used Kraft as my neutral and watercolor paper for my main image to give it some texture. I stamped the grass in Creamy Caramel and then lightly sponged it with Summer Sun and Baja Breeze. I hand tore the Kraft to make the sand base. I stamped the chair from Shore Thing twice. Once in Really Rust and again in Baja Breeze. I cut out the fabric part of the Baja Breeze chair and mounted it on top of the Really Rust. The chair is popped up on dimensionals as is the sentiment. I hope you like it as much as I do. Thanks for the great challenges.

I really like the soft colors you used for this card. The image is so inviting - makes me want to go sit in that chair and enjoy the sunshine and the view! Beautiful card!!

wow, I'm inspired to head to the beach. Love these colors - perfect theme for them. Great textures in the sand and the jute is the perfect final touch! So pretty!

You did a fabulous job with this one! How clever to combine a few different sets to create the perfect beach scene. Love how your chair turned out- just so great.

How fun! You really thought of every detail, from the textured background, to the twine and the fabulous colors! Even the yellow sentiment oval reminds of the sun! Wonderful job- love it!
