There is nothing like a National Geographic photo, so today's Inspiration Challenge had me perusing many pages of amazing photos. Unfortunately, I just got back from a taxing week away and arrived home to a dog requiring vet care, so there is not much time for card making today. I had this card that never got uploaded so am using it for today's challenge; that is the best I can do today. Here is the photo I used.

That is beautiful!
You work of art is not a National Geographique photo, but you have succeeded even better, because you have captured the poetic spirit of this picture... Awesome!

This is a gorgeous card Lee Ann, more gorgeous than your inspiration piece, I think. I love your waves and the dimension you have created. The sentiment is awesome too. :>)

Oh be still my heart. This is amazing. I need this for the album I am making-the way you did the sunset, the waves, the sand, and the sea grass has blown me away. Can I come to your house for a lesson...lol
