Life's a beach!

The theme on Less is More this week is "Life's a beach" to make us think of long summer days and holiday time.  Although we have lots of beaches in Shetland, summer seems to be passing us by this year.

I wanted to create a watercolour card as I love using distress inks for watercolouring and got some inspiration from Birgit's blog - she produces the most amazing watercoloured cards!  My card is certainly not in the same league as Birgit's creations but I was pleased with the final result (that was after I cut off the smudged bit!)

I am also entering this card into challenge #143 on Crafty Cardmakers which is water.



Materials used:-
Plant stamp from Chocolate Baroque wild meadow set
Birds from Inklylicious windswept set
Various distress inks; versafine black onyx ink
Watercolour card

Thanks for visiting - now have a look at the Less is More blog for more great interpretations of the theme. Margaret

    Great card, I'm an avid follower of Brigit and think you have done a pretty good job on your own card. Love the flow of the colours, the layout has worked perfectly.

    This is a stunning work of art and should be framed! The sky is amazing (just like everything else)! Hope you'll do more!
