Our Teaparty Challenge for this month is to "Do The Wave.
After spending time looking for my favourite big wave stamp and not finding it - it has to be here somewhere packed away nicely in one of my boxes!!! - I gave up and looked through my coloured images to see if there were any "waves". Success.
The image was stamped, embossed and coloured with Derwent Inktense Pencils. Some sparkle was added to give the waves and sea some glitter. The sentiment was stamped and embossed and coloured. I used the Uniquely creative nested stitched and scalloped dies to frame the image and added a selection of die cut seashells - they were cut from leftover scraps of water colour card.
Its the middle of winter here now and I would give anything to get away to this beach and wander for a few hours in the sunshine looking for shells. Even the palm trees are waving to me in the gentle breeze. Just dream on Helen.
Hope you enjoy.

Lovely image, sentiment and coloring, Helen. The little shells are great too. The colors and techniques you used with your coloring are amazing. Hugz

Oh no, winter---not ready here as summer just started--LOL Not finding the wave stamp did not mess up your card as is great and yes, does make you want to be there. So colorful, nice layers, cute shells and great sentiment

Beautiful card for the challenge Helen. We are currently up north and I’m sitting in our van listening to the waves and wind. It’s not been so warm this way this winter and we head back south from tomorrow. Not good planning 🙄
Hope life is treating you well over East. Keep warm. Spring is not too far away. Hugs and happy weekend

You're thinking warm beaches to get away from winter and I see COOL tropical breezes to get away from 110 degree desert heat! Beautifully colored and marvelous sentiment to go with.
