This is my card for today's Featured Stamper Challenge - to CASE America (Cards_By_America). What a fabulous gallery she has! I could CASE her cards all day! I picked this one (out of my favorite six!) to CASE first: Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
It was one of her first cards posted! Amazingly sweet!
I used the same set (different image) and beach theme, but changed:
-the sentiment
-tweaked the layout a little
-used different DP, but still an ocean theme
-less piercing
-Dew Drops instead of brads
-left off the fibers and charm
I stamped the image with Timber Brown Stazon and colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and OMS. Sponged the sky with Soft Sky and the sand with Antique Linen DI. I pierced the photo corners and added Dew Drops. Image panels were cut with Nesties.
Thanks, Beth, for selecting this great talent for us to CASE today and congratulations, America! Your gallery is awesome!
TFL!

Carla, I have this dp and cant figure out what to do with it, but you've given me some great inspiration. It's the perfect backdrop for this wonderful image. Great card; beautiful case.
