Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
A quick card inked with markers and blended with a damp waterbrush.
I did some second and third generation stamping of splatters to add a little color
to the background. It was the perfect size to frame in this window.
We recently went to Nags Head for a few days. This card is for the sweet
neighbor that picked up our mail and kept an eye on our house while we were gone.
Good neighbors are a real blessing!
Want to see some of what we saw at the beach?
Day 1 - High seas and crashing waves
Day 2 - Fog and wind
Day 3 - A little calmer
Day 4 - Sunny skies in time to go home
But it's all good at the beach!
Challenges:
The Four Seasons - May-Spring

Stamps: Painted Poppies (SU), Snippets (PB)
Ink: Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green, Soft Sky, Soft Seafoam, Versafine Onyx Black

Lucky you getting away to the beach! Though I'm feeling very fortunate myself that Covid is at a point where I felt I could safely travel to Toronto to see my three sisters (for the first time since Nov 2019 - I've never gone that long in my life without seeing them). Love your card - beautifully coloured tulip and perfect framing.
ReplyDeleteThis could be a lovely sympathy card too. Nice work.

ReplyDeleteThe beach looks too cold for me. Too bad the sunshine didn’t come out earlier on your trip. At least you were able to get away.
