My card base is Bermuda Bay. I sponged the water using Bashful Blue, Baja Breeze and Marina Mist. Then for my sky I masked off the sun. I used Daffodil Delight, Apricot Appeal, Pumpkin Pie, Cherry Cobbler and Pretty in Pink. I went around the whole card with Tempting Turquoise. I sponged the island using Always Artichoke and Basic Black. I stamped the tree then stamped it on the acetate that goes with the Stamp a Ma Jig and put the mirror image in the water. I just wanted a small part of the top of the tree in the water. I used my Signo White Pen to make marks in the water for movement. Next I sprayed this with Gold Smooch. My bow was made using the Cherry Cobbler seam binding. Stamped my tag using the set from SU. Can't think of the name. I cut a narrow piece of Basic Black and ran it through the Lattice ef. Added the pom poms. This took me about 2 hours to make because I've been sick and this is the first card I've made in 2 weeks.

Wow - that's beautiful. Sorry to hear you were unwell. I can tell you, I could spend two hours sponging and it would end up in the bin, not ending in a gorgeous tropical sunset.

For having been sick and this being the first card you've made in 2 weeks, this is beautiful!!! Wonderful colors and beach scene! I love the side with the embossing on black, the burgundy ribbon and the pink dingle balls!
