Terrific sketch from Cathy with a wide open space left to our imagination. My changes: In place of the pointed banner, I stamped a row of cabanas on vellum...stamped off first, so they would be fainter and appear more in the distance. Instead of the circle, I put a die cut of an Adirondack chair.

Such warm, inviting colors to go with your very imaginative beach scene! Your brushos sure are getting a workout these days - LOVE how you did the sky through your stencil, and added the "distant" look for the cabanas, but I want to curl up in your adirondack chair!! AWESOME take on this sketch - you sure DID make it your OWN!!

Love your tropical scene. That stencilled watercolour background is so very pretty and love all the different shades you have used to create it. You have transported everyone to the tropics with this card. Another masterpiece.

Very pretty card. I love the color combo, and the row of cabanas, and the Adirondack chair is perfect. Great bg frame panel, and I love the palm tree. This card indicates a time of relaxing . Wish I was there. Love it. tfs.

Sallie, your BG is amazing, and I love how you stamped off making your cabanas appear off in the distance. And your adirondack die is the perfect addition adding to the feel of a beach resort.
