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.

Faith, you have a great memory. For not being at the beach in over 2 years you still remember what it looks like! This is such a great faux sandy, beach card! Love everything about it! TFS :0)

Faith, you continue to amaze me with your talent everyday. I love how you've used the colors for today's challenge. Terrific surfing scene and I love the metal surfer. Love the CB'ed waves and sand, those cute little flipflops and your ribbon treatment is fabulous.

Great beach scene card! The challenge colors are perfect for this theme and love how you did it, especially the sailboat charm riding the waves! Perfection per usual.
