I live in Colorado, but the last beach vacation that I had was the most wonderfully relaxing and beautiful vacation of all time! We spent a week on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Of course, it helped that we had a beautiful home right on the beach. (We also had a house full of relatives, but that's a different story!)
What I loved about this area is that everything was weathered and seemed misty and soft...except for the big bright beach umbrellas. I tried to replicate this image in my card.
To keep the sky and sand soft, I used a sponge dauber.
- Stamps: Sweet 'n Sassy Ocean Paradise

What a beautiful card Kim. I am a North Carolina native and I love the beach. Your card makes me want to go right now but I will have to wait until July. At least being in NC it's not far at all.
