WT384 Sand and Sea

Photo Details

Poster: gabalot

Here is my card for today's WT challenge which is to bring "beach" elements to your card. I've tried to capture the sand and the ocean's water--splashes and waves. To the sky, I've added birds in flight ... as though they're flying over the ocean. THANKS for looking!

Wow! I love the abstract sky and sand! Adding the birds to it, brings it to life!

Gabby, I think of your card as being Impressionistic...you have captured "light" which that movement was all about. In addition, the "movement" in your card feels like wind. Really a VERY artistic card for today's theme. LOVE IT!
