I saw this card ~Monterey~ by patsmethers at Splitcoaststampers by Pat Smethers and LOVED it so much she sent me all the makings to create my own. Is that not the sweetest!!!! Thanks so much Pat!!! Anyway, not to 'copy' hers completely, I did make some changes. I still like her card better. The background is a 'cheat' as it is one of my photographs. I cut out the rock a second time and popped it up a bit, then addd a bit of gloss to it, and some flower soft behind for surf spray. I cut out the wave a second time and popped it up to hold easel card up. I added flower soft and fun flock to the wave. Then beach is not part of the photo. I used ultra fine flower soft to look like sand. Then added a 'hi' cut out of the ocean part of the photo using a CB die. Added beach stuff, including mostly the bits from Pam. The seal image is also from Pam, the image that started it all as I think he is sooocute. He is colored with Prismas and I added a coating of Diamond Glaze. Starfish are from a stamp set by Hubinot Hobby, the boat and gulls are from a stamp set by Inkadinkado, the clouds from Stampscapes. I added a bit of flower soft under/behind sailboat to look like wake. I chalked a bit of extra color is sky and water. I think that covers it! Enjoy your day. : )
