I got this new sentiment stamp from my mom and thought it would be a great way to christen it in. Imagining where you are. we have a big vase at home which we call our " Jamaica " fund. Not sure if that is esactly where we will go , but someday some island would be cool...so thats where this is, you can imagine any island you want to be...:0).
I just sponged the bgs...with i have no idea which colors now..lol...cut out the silhouettes from black scraps of paper and stamped the sentiment on the one stamped it with white and decided I needed some sparkle...lol...I am sorry I think it wrecked it, ran out of time at moment to fix...might redo before I send it. then added the sun with dipping a pencil eraser in yellow ink and added the 2 birds with marker. Have a good week all and thanks for the visit...:0)

I think I can hear steel drums in the bg! Jamaica sounds like fun, as is any island. Personally, we love Bermuda! Lovely colors in your sunset!

Sigh! This card is gorgeous.....looks like a photo! I love the colours, so true to life, and I see a lot of sunrises over our lake. We walk along the lake every morning.

I have no problem putting myself on that beach enjoying the sunset, no problem at all! This scene makes me think of Hawaii, feeling the warm breeze, smelling the salty air, and the refreshing waves lapping at my feet as I walk the beach! I'm there!
I love this card!
