This is for IC278 and the Outer Banks Trading Group is our inspiration site today. I visit the Outer Banks every year for our family gathering and was thrilled to see this site for the challenge. I was inspired by all the umbrellas in a piece of wall art called Secrets http://www.obxtradingroup.com/index....312&parent=129
I stamped the envelopes and other images on watercolor paper, colored with reinkers and a brush, embossed with vera and clear embossing powder and then cut out. I created a simple ocean/beach scene for the background and popped up all the umbrellas and towels, etc to be the main focus of the project. I love the ocean and sitting out under an umbrella watching the surf and sky on a warm Cape Hatteras summer day.

Another amazing beach scene, Kittie! Oh well, guess I have to purchase this Kittie Kit also! Love this scene, your out of the box brellas and the sweet little sand bucket! Beautifully done and colored!

This is amazing. I feel myself right there! The beach is one of my most favorite places to go. Gorgeous coloring and I love how you did this. Now I know I'm going to get the square nesties!!
