When you look at what I've been creating lately, you'd think I had the beach on my mind. Actually, I don't mind South Carolina winters a bit. I do adore the beach though!
The first card uses the SALE-A-BRA-TIONS stamp set called Island Vibes, but I couldn't stop there I had to pull in other beachy products from our catalogs!

This stamp set has sure been a hit with me! It makes a quick and easy card and it's beautiful! The Faux Sea Glass Shapes give such a lovely touch to finish off these cards.
After cutting the beach houses from the Horizon dies, I colored them with Stampin' Blends, and a thin black Sharpie for a bit of outline. I inked the beach stamp in Crumb Cake, then used a Sponge Dauber to apply a bit of Soft suede to the straighter side of the stamp.
