Let's Go To The Beach

 Hello Nomad friends.  I hope you are all safe and well.  I love the sea.  The sound of the waves.  It always makes me feel calm and refreshed.

 

I stamped Crafty Individuals Seaside Treasures Background with Prickly Pear, Library Green and Colbalt archival inks, starting with the lightest and using less ink on the subsequent colours.   I distressed the edge of the panel with my craft knife and embossed the bottom with Emerald Creek Dirty Sand embossing powder.  I mounted the panel on a dark green base card.

I stamped the boy and girl from Crafty Individuals My Favourite Place, fussy cut and added them to the card.  The sentiment top left is from Crafty Individuals Call of the Sea set.  

'By the sea all worries wash away'

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

What a great design. Love how you created the background-I thought it was designer paper! And then adding the distress edge and embossing the bottom does it all such a beach feel. What a lovely scene it makes with these 2 images-a real feel of calm. Thanks for joining Time Out x

Well, this couldn't be more perfect for our challenge Iona!! I adore the image and looks just as gorgeous uncoloured. And that sand embossing powder is freakin amazing, have never seen it before, thought you had glued actual sand to your card. Love this so much and always excited to see you at TIME OUT!
