This is to honor Queen Brenda/Tessaduck. Sometime you need to tell me the story behind your screen name. I had a lot of fun going through your extensive gallery. In the end I chose this card to case WT384 Pacific sunset by tessaduck at Splitcoaststampers
I wanted to do something beachy. I am originally from So Cal and every winter I wonder why in the world I came to Missouri! I do love it here but my heart will always be with the ocean.
This is a set from CTMH. I stamped it in Momento Cocoa and did a little sponging using Crumb Cake, Pool Party and Apricot Appeal. Very simple card. I am really trying to do more CAS style. I like it and it mails much cheaper!!

I love your coloring in that beautiful scene! Those are such eye catching colors! I live walking distance from Lake Erie so water or beach scenes appeal to me so much!

First off, tessaduck's story of "how she got her name" is in the Queen's thread post #9 - ww.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/queen-day-challenge-f311/qftd148-our-new-queen-t567401.html
I asked right away cause my curiosity was getting the best of me!
Your card takes me awaaaa-ay! down the the beach , though mine is on the east coast, though I did get a good glimpse of the Pacific once! The way you stamped and sponged your image looks awesome!!! Special effect of stamping the seagulls OUTSIDE the main image was something that caught my eye right away - love this card, Sisser!! Hugs!

Ooh, love the beach! What a relaxing and peaceful scene you have created......I spent 17 years in the state of 'mis'ery (my nickname for MO) that ole river can't compare to the ocean. Brenda sure has inspired everyone.
