When I saw this framed print http://www.roomsbyzoyab.com/product/boy_p-1536.aspx I immediately thought of this image from the retired Summer by the Sea set. I used my Aqua Pen and Water Color Crayons to color the image and layered with white on white with some extra scoring to imitate the framing.

It is very alike, you did very well, It could be like a printed set now..right on. Love your coloring and how you layered it with the clean whites and the one blue for depth nicely done..TFS. ..:0)

Just perfect for this inspiration!! I love the CAS look and have always loved this stamp, even though I don't have it! I think it brings back memories of my boys when they were little at the beach!
