I was drawn to the scene in this CA postcard here.
Die cut my frame, and using the inside piece (the negative) I sponged the bg scene - using DOX inks, masking, and stamping with a texture stamp for the water. Adhered to card front.
Die cut my piece of "sand", sponged, and also stamped with a texture stamp and the sentiment (putting 3 words together). Die cut the trees and birds from black, popped up the frame with dimensionals and adhered to card front and added the sand, trees and chairs (also with dimensionals). Love how this turned out!

Oh Maura, this is so beautiful!! I LOVE your beach scene, cool sand you made and love that sunset/sunrise (depending on which coast you are sitting at!). Great silhouette die cuts too!

What a gorgeous sunset, Maura. All the texture you added to the sand and sea brings your beach scene to life. I'd love to be sitting in that chair. ;) Thanks for sharing your card with us at Addicted to Stamps and More. Bobby
