As I mentioned the other day, I have been drawn to the word "relax" this week, so here is a second card telling me to take it easy:
Maybe it's because my son and his family left for a week in Hawaii today; maybe it's because I got some new "toys" to play with; and maybe it's just because the gray Oregon days are kinda getting to me...but I couldn't wait to reach for the beach with this card!
I love the beachy sunset - Oceanfront paired with my Blending Brushes and a masked sun let me create the background. And check out those little pieces of Sea Glass - such a cute embellishment for a beach scene!
My new Palms dies were just the ticket for those silhouetted palm trees (true story - I forgot to order the stamps that coordinate, so I had to make them as silhouettes; the stamps are on their way!) and I created a Basic Black frame using two sizes of the Stitched Rectangle dies. The palm trunks are adhered to the back of the frame, and then the fronds reach to the front of the frame with Dimensionals giving them a lift.
Next week we are expecting more cold weather, with the highs only about 41 degrees...brrr! I have no doubt I'll be turning to my "beach in my head" and will be creating more tropical cards to help keep me warm!
What stamps to you turn to on cold, dreary days?
