No challenge, just an across the miles birthday card for my sister.
The winds may howl, and the snow swirl, but the memories of ocean mist, salty spray, and laughing gulls dim the distance between two hearts that grow older.

This is just so pretty. Love that stamped image and the sunset/sun rise (I prefer sunrise) on the beach. So peaceful and very thoughtful. Perfect sentiment too.

Grumbacher's ???? No way! I used to use mine all the time, going back 50 years ago, but , believe it or not, I still have the sorry looking set that is used up all the way to the sides of the cups!
I love that you stamped this in a lighter color so the outline is not as harsh as it sometimes seems with black. Your sunrise/sunset looks positively brilliant and so true to life, and the way you extended the beach likewise. What a great card to send to your sister, across the miles, and guessing if you could, you would be with her on that beach right now!
So glad I got to see your card tonight - brought a sweet sense of peace and quiet!! Hugs!
