As soon as I saw the VSN challenge to make a card based on a song with a summer theme I thought of a beach/flip flop card I'd seen in this week's Queen Tater's gallery. I sponged my beach in So Saffron and Soft Suede and added some Itty Bitty Backgrounds spatter. The ocean was made with Marin Mist, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point. I smudged with white paint along the wave line and to add some waves in the water. I also doodled in some Not Quite Navy and white gel pen lines. I added a piece of grey burlap with a twine accent and framed in Basic Grey onto a Kraft base

Awesome card! It makes me want to take off my sneakers and dip my toes in the water. I love the blended ocean you created. Thanks for playing along with my challenge.

I love how you did your water. Sometimes that can be quite a challenge for me but I can almost hear the ocean looking at your card. Thank you for honoring my reign as QFTD.
