The Twisted Sister's challenge this week was to make a card with scenery, use sponging and pop up one element.
The main image was watercolored and masked, and I used a paper towel mask to make the cloud formation. The popped up sandcastle is from Clear Dollar Stamps, and was stamped on sand paper using Black Stazon. The little umbrella normally rests in a margarita, but I thought this lil guy needed some shade.
Thanks for looking!

Awwwha Sista you went and brought a tear to my eye! This is precious! Reminds me of my special Nephew. Well, they are all special but the one I'm thinking of is blessed extra special. He has challenges and is not the brightest little star in the sky but boy can he shine! He would stay with me in the shade since he knows I have a lot of Angel Kisses (freckles) and the sun hurts them. Beautiful piece ...love it!

This is so pretty, love the cute image with the umbrella. Love the sand paper image. Not good on your scissors cutting that stuff, atleast it wasn't for mine. Great job on the challenge.
