Greetings to my cyber visitors.
I trust you feel welcome - and relaxed at this beach.
I made this from 'scratch', starting with a chalked background. The sky was chalk applied with my finger. The sea, chalk applied with a cotton bed (Q-tip), also using a torn piece of paper as a mask.
The palm image (by Kiwistamping) was stamped using a watercolour crayon direct to stamp, and then touched up using a brush and colour from the crayons. The fishing rod (Hastings Rubber Stamps) was stamped using a dye ink.
The sentiment was computer generated and double mounted.
Kindy Glitz was added to give the impression of foam on the wave edges.
The whole was then mounted onto a dark blue base.
A simple card which the photos do not really do justice to.
