I made this for today's Free For All Challenge. You were supposed to create a card that evokes memories of a favorite vacation. Since we go to the beach every year, this one was easy for me! The beach scene was created in "Zindorf" style, but I sponged on my color rather than using a brayer (because I can't get the hang of the brayer!). The shell squares were stamped with Creamy Caramel then embossed with clear EP. I might use this on one of my beach scrapbook pages instead of as a card.

Wow, I love this with the mesh, fibre and great sponged sand and sea. Easy to tell it's not an Irish beach. Those little strips down the right hand side are fantastic, too. This makes me think of some of the beaches we saw in Greece last year - the most golden sand I've ever seen, some of them.
This is a lovely beach scene. My favorite thing is that your strips on the right side of the card added weight to balance the square images on the left. I am so glad to know that other people have brayering problems. I am so challenged with it that I just stick to my sponges.
