Here is my early entry for the TSC for this week. We had to create a scene...and since I had the seashore on my mind I went that safe way! Hope you enjoy! I did sponge the edges.
Thanks for looking and do enjoy!

Very pretty and very warm! No huge piles of snow in your picture! I like the wavy distressed look at the edges. Your sky is so pretty too. I see you are showing off free handing those birds again!

Ah, I see you did get this done and the first one too!! It's so lovely, Peggy, I wish I could be transported into the scene this minute! If I close my eyes I can hear the gulls and the ocean waves...

Oh gosh this is such a lovely scene, did you really hand paint those sea gulls, they are just stunning I don't think you need rubber stamps you are already an artist, I tried adding sea gulls to a card once and my husband just laughed and said they were upside down I wondered whey they didn't look quite right, but I just pretened 'ha I know that they are supposed to be doing acrobats'. Thank goodness for rubber stamps is all I can say!

Wow, beautifully done, Peggy, and early too, yeah!!!!! Did you draw in the birds, they look gorgeous, and so does your beautiful seashore scene. Makes me think of spring on such a winter-y day!!! LOVE it, TFS!!!

This the perfect card as our weather is cold and miserable. When I saw this I wanted to go build sand castles and hunt for shells!!! Beautiful.
