Got this huge 7x3 inch stamp from my brother. He found it at a garage sale from a neighbor, who had been given the excess stamps from a company that is no longer in business.
I added four palm trees (SU! Luscious Landscapes), hill, beach and water to the right. I also added the hibiscus plants and extended ocean on the left. There is a strip of handmade paper at the bottom of the card where the folded area has exposed the inside. It adds some texture and dimension.
My oval contains a great beach grass stamp from Cornish Heritage Farm and a tropical plant from Luscious Landscapes. The little ceramic starfish gives just the right perk! The images were colored with pencils and markers. The sentiment is from Pink Cat Studio in Canada.
Wish I were at the beach! What do you think? TFL!!! -Chrysi-

I LOVE this scene. I grew up in southern California, but have lived in Indiana for 30+ years now. I sure do miss the beach this time of year!! I'm decorating a spare room with a beach theme...then I can be closer to the coast while in my own home! lol. This is a gorgeous scene!

How pretty is this?! Great job on the sketch challenge, and very creative of you to combine so many different stamps from so many different places into one seamless, beautiful creation! Very inspiring!
