Beach Memory

 Hey Everybody,

Today's challenge is given to us by Linda. You can find the challenge here. 

Today we visit Keri's gallery which can be found here.

Here is the inspiration from Keri's gallery that I used for my inspiration.

Here is my card.

Wetlands by Stampin' Up has always been one of my favorite sets to use. I came across it recently and wanted to use it. Today I got my chance thanks to Linda and Keri.
I used my blending brush with Sahara sand for the beach at the bottom. The I used torn paper and balmy blue for the water close up. Next I used boho blue farther back and for the horizon line. I drew the horizon with my ink pad. Above the horizon, I used my blending brush and boho blue and a cloud cut out to make the clouds. The water was made with torn paper as well as my blending brush. Instead of uneven borders I changed it and brushed ink against sticky notes to form a navy blue frame around the scene as though it were in a frame. The image panel was added to a basic beige card base. I used wink of stella on the sand and water to make it glisten. This card will go on a dinner tray at a local hospital.
