Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: Soft Sky, Very Vanilla, and River Rock...
I checked the bath mat this morning and found Speedy the Cat's hidden treasure...A bracelet filled with nautical charms...And TWINE!
So, out came this new BEACH stamp set from H&M Stamps... SHHHHH....don't tell anyone...but I HATE the beach!!! I live 16 miles from the beach and haven't been there in over 2 years...I can't stand the gritty, salty sand in my mouth, on my skin, on my clothes, in between my toes or ALL OVER MY VAN!!! I HATE it!!! Ever eaten a picnic at the beach? Where do you think the term SANDwich came from???? (Not really, an English earl came up with it...I bet he was AT the beach, though!!!)
I embossed the River Rock section to make it look like my arch enemy, (sand!), and used a dauber to sponge Very Vanilla with Soft Sky...(I'm out of Soft Sky paper...) Then, I embossed that layer.
The SANDals were stamped on SU! dp and cut out.
I stamped the shells on Very Vanilla and colored them using reinkers and an aqua pen.

I love your card. I also love the beach! I wish I were there right now. I do agree, though, that sand can be a pain. I only have to (get to) deal with it once a year.
