I started by sponging Baja Breeze on Textured Whisper White cs for the sky. Over it, I sponged on Marina Mist for the ocean and used my White Gel Pen to add some waves. I then inked up the palm tree with Chocolate Chip for the trunk and a combo of Old Olive and Always Artichoke for the palm fronds and stamped it. I grabbed a scrap of cork, picked at the top so it'd resemble sand and adhered it to the Whisper White cs with Sticky Strip. I stamped the sentiment on watercolor paper with Chocolate Chip ink, popped it up with Dimensionals to the cork and then adhered the main image to a watercolor cardstock card base.
I can't wait to see all the entries! TFL - Regina

The scene you created is beautiful. The cork puts the finishing touch on it.

Spectacular Regina. Your use of the corkboard makes this look like real sand. How genious of you. This is one of my favorite cards of yours. Just love how crisp and clean and great feeling at the same time! WOW!
