I love these photos of the beach that my DH took a couple of weeks ago when we went down the Coast for an overnight visit....so beautiful and relaxing! They have been edited to enhance the stunning colours, but only slightly! I could not resist using the Die Cuts With a View DP from The Endless Summer series.
I stamped these gorgeous shells from the Layers of Color art stamp set Under the Sea: http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog/
I coloured the shells with Chalks and then added Kindy Glitz to the long shells and gave the smaller round ones a light coat of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in Pearl. It was hard to capture the glimmer and sheen in the photo - but aren't those shells just lovely - so realistic! They have been layered onto a MS Fence Punch, which has been sponged with Distressing Ink. Some of the shells have been popped up on dimensionals.
The DCWV DP has been added to with the Layers of Color art stamp set Nature Walk - I love this flourish - and stamped it in Whispers Sepia then added highlights with Chalks and Kindy Glitz. I love the way it just blended in with the DP, but also added so much to the overall look of the Layout!
And there you have it - doesn't it make you want to be there - we found the most gorgeous place to stay that actually had peacocks wandering around the motel,,,they even had babies - what a fabulous sight - you can find these photos and more on my DH's blog Imagery of the Soul: http://imageryofthesoul.blogspot.com/
This layout is for the Stampin' for the Weekend Challenge with a theme of New Beginnings: http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.com/
nothing better than a sunrise to symbolise a new beginning - I do think this fits!!
