This week's featured stamper, Akiko (aka apsidano), has a fabulous Gallery filled with vibrant colors, gorgeous designer papers and wonderful layouts and designs. So much to inspire. She had several adorable bird cards I had marked because I'm on a "bird binge" but then I spotted this wonderful seaside scene that reminded me of the new stamp set I have been eager to use. Here's Akiko's fabulous card: Seaside View Watercolor Escape by apsudano at Splitcoaststampers
I loved her soft colors; the ef she used (which I regrettably do not own...yet) and the beautiful watercolored beach she created. I changed my colors to shades of turquoise and made it landscape so more of the ef would show. For the bg on the image panel, I watered down the DOX inks and just brushed them across the paper for a hint of color. Stamp, color, die cut, emboss, glue it all down. Done.
Congratulations Akiko on being this week's Featured Stamper. I so enjoyed looking through your Gallery and admiring all your beautiful cards. I hope you have as much enjoyment seeing the cards made in your honor this week. And, I hope everyone is having a peaceful moment filled with Turquoise Dreams...or whatever dream is your favorite. TFL.

Debbie, this is a great case of Akiko's card. I love the soft aqua beachy colors you used. The wave embossed layer is such a perfect detail to go with your chair and umbrella. Wonderful card!

Debbie, I love your soft watercoloring! Totally adds to the card. Great images and texture. This card relaxes me - so calming and pretty. Lovely case. So you went from trees to birds - wonder what is next? I do the same thing! Hugz
