I thought I would put a sun on my card for all of you that have about had it with winter already! You can dream of sun and sand and summer.
I stamped the palm tree images using black memento ink and colored with several shades of brown and green Copic markers. I then masked and airbrushed the sun, the sky and the sand. The sand was still kind of flat though, so I added some sponging. Yeah, that's what it needed. The sentiment was stamped with Vintage Photo distress ink and airbrushed before being matted and popped up. The whole scene is matted with the dark brown cs.
Don't hate me because I'm living the dream here in Phoenix. hee hee hee I love winter here.

Wonderful beach scene, Karen! Reminds me of the beach town I grew up in down on the Gulf Coast. We had four humongous palm trees in our front yard which was a block away from the water. Beautiful view but not so great in Hurricane season, lol.
