Hi! THis is the second time I've tried to upload this card, so I'll make this brief.
This card is for the CC: Curry Bay Durango and for the TPT challenge My oh my! It's Kahuna Kai!
I realized once I sat down that I didn't have anything left in crushed curry except the inkpad, and nothing at all in Bermuda bay. Oh, well, I used so saffron for my background paper and mixed cool caribbean with pacific point and under the sea shimmerz for a blue color. It doesn't even remotely remind me of bermuda bay, but I like it so it's going to stay!
And then I started thinking about out TPT challenge: to bring some part of the beach or ocean to remind Silly Sydney of her dream to see and enjoy the ocean. I brought a starfish charm and two ocean going vessels. But most importantly, I brought faith; the faith to believe in, cherish and fulfill your dreams. You see, this stamp reminds me of one dream that I fulfilled a long time ago: I wanted to travel some and get out on my own. So I moved from the east coast to California, Marina del Rey to be exact. This scene looks just like one of the harbors there! Dreams really can come true, if we just have the faith to make them come true!
TFL and have a lovely day!

This reminds me of some of the fishing ports along the west coast of Ireland. Except your sea is much calmer than ours mostly is. I like that you embossed the image, it looks great.

Gail, I am just in awe of this embossed image and the choice of the perfect background folder and to add all that the perfect charm, ribbon and sentiment. All in nature is beautiful and I love this seaside scene. TFS

Love your harbor scene... it reminds me of the fishing village of Leland, Michigan. Your coloring is fantastic... the water and sky are perfectly done.
