Impression Obsession At The Beach Challenge

Lovely summertime greetings, my friends!  I had to say it, as summer here in upstate NY is winding down, and I have to get my last bit of 'summerness' in!  

Welcome to the Impression Obsession AT THE BEACH challenge!  You can find links to the other designer's posts on the IO blog HERE. 

My card features a beach, some waves, and a flamingo!

I masked off an area of a card stock panel for the sky, using torn paper and my brush applicator and some torn paper to apply distress ink, creating clouds.

I moved the mask to the sky area to cover it, and tore a piece of paper with a jagged edge to create a mask for the sand for the beach, then applied deeper blue for the water, and browns for the beach.

I used embossing paste and applied dabs of it with my spatula, creating wave crests.  When dry, I added the verse, then the die cuts.

I framed the scene with my favorite frame die set, using the large stitched frame.  I layered the whole shebang onto an A2 white card front.

I had fun creating my beach card!  Now, I'm going out to play in my garden for a while.  I think perhaps we may take a ride to the beach later this evening to watch the sun set over the lake!  Sounds like a great plan.

I am adding my card to these challenges:
