With the small taste of summer temps we had over the weekend I thought this card I made reflected how I'm anxiously waiting for summer to officially arrive.
I tried my best to make it look like an old postcard. I edged the paper with walnut ink and then rubbed some linen ink to add to the distressing. The Palm tree is from Mindy's Zoo set. The sand and water were added with watercolor pencils and a little bit of stickles
Thanks for looking

Wow...this is fabulous, Carrie!! I love the scene, with the water and sand...the shimmer! If there was a way to make summer come quicker, this card would do it! (does that even make sense?) LOL!

Very original layout - I haven't seen that one before! I love it, makes me feel ready to travel and/or hang out at the beach. You really have a creative use of ink and layouts here! TFS
