Darlene has picked Summertime as the theme for this week's challenge in the Crafty Secrets member forum (challenge details here- why not come join us?).
No stamping on this one! I used one of the lovely cardstock stickers from the Seaside Memories sheet and lots of sponging! My childhood holidays always involved the seaside and there really is something magical about the smell and the sound as you approach the ocean!
Supplies: Seaside Memories stickers (Heartwarming Vintage), Adirondack ink (Cloudy Blue, Stonewashed, Denim), Time Holtz distress ink (Broken China), sewing machine and thread, Tria marker, white gel pen.

There is something very intriguing about this card!
The serenity?
The simplicity?
The cool calming effect?
It's very beautiful and creatively done, love the water dp and the stitching just fits it perfect......
I think I hear Seagulls in the distance.
