Congrats to our new Featured Stamper, Viv, aka Daizy-Mae! I've been taking the Watercolor for Cardmakers Online Class, so when I saw THIS gorgeous card in Viv's gallery, I knew it was the one! I changed it by making it square, adding the sentiment at the side instead of on vellum and by adding some sea shell die-cuts.
I used watercolors for sky, then sponged the torn wave panels. The birds were drawn. The whole card is made with thick watercolor paper which gives a rich feel. I hope to have time tomorrow to CASE a few more!

Wonderful ocean scene with seagulls flying up above. Your seashells are such a nice touch.
