Congrats to Jenny, the newest Featured Stamper! She has such a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the sunset bg w/ a silhouette image but I used different images, a corvette instead of a crane in the foreground & changed it from vertical to horizontal.
To make my Ocean Drive card, I painted watercolors onto the solid background image & stamped it onto white card stock. After I dried it, I placed it in my Misti & stamped the silhouette palms (several times) using VersaClair ink then added white highlights w/ a gel pen. I drew a few seagulls w/ a Copic multiliner pen.The white frame was die cut & stamped with the Happy Birthday squiggle frame. The corvette was stamped, colored & die cut w/ the matching die. I made the corvette yellow because my dad used to have a yellow corvette & he loved it! Personally, I preferred the Mustang convertible he had before that, lol.
Congrats agains, Jenny! Thanks so much for looking. Closeups, the inside & Copic colors are on my blog: The Write Stuff

Julie, this is just fantastic! I love this wonderful tropical scene you water colored and stamped so beautifully. The yellow corvet is a definite eye catcher here, and I do love a yellow corvet. However, I also agree with you on the mustang convertible (ooh la la). The squiggle sentiment frame around the image is really fantastic, and completes the card so nicely. You truly were inspired by Jenny's gorgeous inspiration card when you made this beauty. ~Karen.
Wish I could drive away in that classic Corvette. Well not really! I probably wouldn't fit in it very well. Your coloring is always so wonderful and I especially love the sky background.
