I was sad not to have had more time to make the card I really wanted to make. Life is too busy right now, but I knew I could make a quick card with this stamp. Stamped on watercolour paper, coloured everything except the sky with pencils, and used re-inkers for the sky. Embossed the base layer with SU Subtle, doodled a border and popped the beach up on foam. Added Stickles to all the surf, and finished the card of with a shell cut from watercolour paper and coloured with Twinkling H2Os for a glossy shell finish.

This is a great image for the challenge. Maybe you will get more time to make the other card too. I love the distressing on the edge and the doodling too. The finishing touch of the shell is perfect.
