TLC386, Make a Beach

Photo Details

Poster: cjzim

Today's challenge was to create a beach somehow. I made my scene by creating a brayered sky bg, then tearing cardstock and vellum to create the beach sand, white caps and waves. I used the tiny speckled stamp in Itty Bitty Backgrounds to create a sandy look on my Crumb Cake cardstock. I also incorprated some hemp twine for today's CAS challenge, but this card didn't really turn out to be simple to qualify for that! TFL
