Every once in a while, it's nice to break away from the busyness of life and enjoy a little piece of paradise! Last week my hubby and I, along with our golden retriever, took off and headed for our definition of paradise...the beach! I love to wake up early and look out the window to the beach below and listen to the rhythmic sound of waves breaking on the shore. That's the scene I tried to create in my card sample for today.
The beach scene from the "Ocean Paradise" clear stamp set was stamped on a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock and colored with Copic Markers. A little bit of white gel pen and Stickles highlight the waves. The window die was cut from Barely Banana card stock and mounted on top of the beach scene. Some Baker's twine was used for the tie backs, and a little cheesecloth and shells adorn the window sill. The wall paper and chair rail were made from some My Mind's Eye "Lost and Found" patterned paper and Smokey Shadow card stock. Everything was mounted on a Smokey Shadow card base.
Look who else has found time to relax at the beach...
It's RHUBARB from the new "Summertime Rhubarb" clear stamp set! This set just happens to be the prize up for grabs at The Sweet Stop this week. Check out the fabulous sketch and play along for a chance to win!
Not everyone can slip away to the beach, so I thought I would bring the beach to you! I hope you can find time to enjoy a little piece of Paradise wherever you happen to be today!
Bless you for stopping by!
Hugs,
