Photo Details
Poster: patsmethers

 Congrats to Lois, our Queen for the day! Lois, your galley is beautiful, fun and inspiring! I chose this card because I wanted to try something new- and your tree spoke to me! (And your waves were delish!) I could not get waves in my ocean, so I settled for some sand. Hope your week is full of good things, you surely deserve it!

This is also for the Twisted Sister challenge to make an April Fool's' card with a surprise inside. I made two of these cards as Congrats for new employees, who have very challenging jobs. The inside reads "Congrats" and below that, "Got Margaritas?" I think they will get a chuckle from that, considering how hard they work.

I sponged the clouds in Bashful Blue over a torn paper towel, and used a post it note (Thanks Tater) to mask off the bottom and sponge in the ocean and tore a piece of sand paper to make the beach. The trees and palms were then stamped over the bg.

Thanks for looking.

super fun one...right on girl...a fun new different one for you...I love your clouds they turned out so beautiful...my mom told me about the paper towel trick , have to ask her again on the details on how, cause this is awesome....and the sandpaper what a great idea, look so real and the whole picture is so cool colored and placed and stamped so well....hmmmm, kind of makes one want to get out the chair and lay down right underneath that tree...:0)...TFS

Pat,
If you look really, really close, you can see me sitting in my chair behind the waving palms - ah, you missed it! I wish!
Your card is so pretty, balmy and tropical breezes, beautiful sand and water -- aaah - peaceful and gorgeous card!
