On previous posts you’ve seen scraps of the background already but this is the card originally created using it. Stamp sets used are from Concord & 9th, Inspired by Stamping with the beach ball coming from a free Internet image. I hand tore the bottom of the background piece to create the illusion of waves on the beach, then I added a piece of kraft that I shaded a bit to create the illusion of sand. Once it was glued to card front I added the chair and the ball. I added the sun and glittered the centre of it then added tiny clouds on top. Added the larger cloud and then the fussy cut sentiment. If all goes well, I hope to be sitting on our boat looking over the ocean pretty soon.

Johanna, this is a great card! I love how the torn edge perfectly makes the waves on the shore. What a fantastic idea.

Thanks Golda. I just had to try the background sea based on the book cover inspiration.

Yes I like it too. I like that particular stamp set and have used quite a few of the sentiments. The other set by same company has lots of seaside type images that I’ve use a fair bit too. Just got my June Hero Arts kit this morning so shall have some fun with that later.

Thanks – doing this background as close to the book image became an obsession for a short time. It was fun when I got a similar look with the supplies at hand.
