Hello all! I have been out of the gallery for a couple weeks and have really missed it! Today's colored just called me to my craft room to create a fun sneak peek to show you a little of what's going to be released Aug 1 by ODBD.
I used the new Flip Flop Fun to stamp my sentiment in Bermuda Bay on my craft colored cs, and the flip flops. I sponged "dunes" using torn post it notes, added some sponged "water" lines. I added some flower bling to the flip flops, after cutting them out with the custom Flip Flop Die. The little tiny shells are a teensy peek at another set called Anchor the Soul.
My towel is a piece of fabric I cut and then frayed the edges a bit. I had seen this idea on Pinterest and had to try it.
This is also for this week's Shining the Light challenge which is to use sponging. Basically the whole little scene is sponged.
Thanks so much for looking! I'll be back this evening to view the gallery and leave some love!

What a FANTASTIC beach card, Grace!!! I love your versatile card-making style, that's the sign of a great artist, and clearly that's you!!!
I first noticed those great flip-flops, and how you've made them dimensional and whimsical with the little floral embellishment, they look SO real!!! Using that piece of fabric was just an inspired idea, how great is this!!!, and the little additions on the sand too. Beautiful colors to go against the sand color just pop, I love it!!! This has gone into my favorites...
Blessings to you, I am a big fan of your ODBD cards!!!

Your beach scene is truly inspired and a delight. Love the "beach towel" and the bling flipflops. Your did a terrific job of creating the undulations of the sand. A darling card.
