Thanks Joan for a cool challenge today! Your sample was awesome~a hard act to follow! lol I have found that the longer I fuss over a card the less I like it and that's the case with this one. I'm cloud challenged~I tried to use a template but I couldn't get it to come out~so I gave up and used a die. I used five different stamps to make the scene. For the palm tree I misted the clear stamp and colored with distress markers~kinda like the watercolored look. I used an SU bg stamp and a sponge for the sand. I used my color dusters for the sky and water. The beach chair was a part of a stamp~only used the beach chair that was fussy cut and popped up on the sand. Stamped the sun and sentiment. Thank you DANDI93(Irene) for the link on how to do the clouds! Hopefully I can master them! lol TFL
Hugs Linda

Linda! This is lovely!!! I especially LOVE your palm tree!!! Personally, I think your sky looks awesome and I don't think the cut out clouds were a necessity, but they do add a little of the cute factor : ) Your colors are wonderful too! This is a fantastic beach card!!!

Awesome scene Linda, don't be so hard on yourself, I actually like how the clouds turned out... I guess you need to do what your cards says "relax" sit in that chair for a while, make room for me though...nice job on the fuzzy cutting too, TFS
