Hello Dear Friends!
A definite sign of Summer is going to the beach OR maybe a Tropical Island! LOL I still keep hounding hubby about going back [directly] to Bora Bora & Tahiti ... after Covid is behind us of course. That is what was on my mind today while creating this card.
I've created my background using Tim Holtz distress oxide inks and large sponge daubers. Other than the blue for the sky, I've simply used the ink that remained in the sponge daubers. My island silhouette is by Taylored Expressions and called 'Beach Border'.
The seabirds came from an old Inkadinkado 'Coastal' stamp set (#97521).
I punched a circle from masking medium and placed it on my white card stock before beginning my inked background.
Here's a peek at the inside of my card ...

I just shake my head. It's so warm and inviting and I want to be there, but then it would probably be too humid and I'd long to be back on the Oregon coast, plus I'd miss Wally and LuLu and and and... I don't know if we'll even get to do a road trip this year. It all depends on LuLu. Your card makes me smile, Darlene.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful silhouette....brings me right back to warm Aruba nights! FAB!
ReplyDeleteFabulous scene, looks like somewhere I would like to visit :) Love how you did the inside too
ReplyDeleteThis is such a stunning card Darlene! Beautiful scene you have created with the vibrant colours in the background and silhouette images. I love the inside as well.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and serene silhouette beach scene! I would love to be on that hammock right about now! With the straw hut, I picture this somewhere in the Caribbean...
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful, relaxing scene you've created; both outside and inside! Simply gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fabulous card. I wish I was there right now, it's so calming and wonderful. Great blending there, my friend.
