My nephew moved down to Alabama last year and his kids are enjoying being at the beach more often, they have gone all winter long, and my great nephew has especially loved going, they have shared pictures of his big smile when he is at the beach. So when I went to make his card I remembered this stamp image a fellow card maker stamped out for me years ago and thought it would be perfect. I later found out that that is where they celebrated his birthday this year too, so it was perfect.
I inked the sand and water and using a stencil the sky, colored him with markers.
- Stamp from friend, colored w/markers
- Inked sand, water and using my homemade cloud stencil did the sky, drew in the birds
- Memory box - Stitched Rectangle layers die
- Spectrum noir clear sparkle pen on water
- Tim Holtz - Clippings sticker book for sentiment
Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
Connie

Love this fun beach card. You always do a great job of making guy cards and fitting them to the recipient.
This card captures the joy of beach days perfectly. The stamped image and your attention to detail create such a vibrant and joyful scene. His big smile says it all.
