I love the ocean don't you? I love the smells, the sound of the waves rolling onto the shore, the seagulls silent flight overhead (and sometimes not so silent), building sandcastles, little boys and girls with their sand pails and shovels. This image reminds me of my daughter when she was small - one of our favorite places to be was on a beach somewhere. The lake is beautiful here in Tahoe as well and the water is so blue it's breathtaking and we have these wonderful Canadian geese that love to stop by and visit, have a snack, and take a nap.
My card today is for the
Crafty Secrets Challenge using distressing techniques. I have distressed the edges with Tim Holtz distress tool and ink. The image is from Crafty Secrets "Seaside Memories", the CS and button twine are from Papertrey Ink, the DP is from the "Fly a Kite" collection by October Afternoon. I used Prismacolor pencils and OMS, pearls from Ellen Hutson which I colored with a Copic, I Kan Dee Chalk, and a shell from my beach wanderings.
Have a wonderful weekend.
