I am not a sun worshiper, because my skin is so fair, I burn easily. Hence, I also don't have much in my stamp arsenal having to do with the beach. But I managed to find something.
I scribbled watercolor crayons (blue on top and brown on bottom) on the embossed watercolor paper, and then painted over them with gesso. I thought it was too plain, so I pulled out some inky paper towel and pieced it all over the bottom. Then I brushed a watered down gesso over that. I added a piece of the stretchy netting that comes wrapped around meat (It's been washed well!), and popped up the sand dollar. I couldn't find the sentiment that I wanted to use, so I decided this one would work.

Beautiful...I'm with you, don't love the sun, although I'm not as fair as you, I still burn. I think my favorite thing on the beach are shells, beach glass and things like this sand dollar. Beautiful creation!
