Yes, that's today challenge in the Twisted Thursday Group at the Outlawz where anything goes ... A DAY AT THE BEACH ... and it gave me the opportunity to work with this Nana Vic's Digitals digistamp again:
Here is a better look at the image
I coloured it using alcohol markers and a white gel pen, and what is particularly enjoyable for me is to create the clouds in the sky, the shades of the sea, and the difference in colour in wet and dry seasand. Sometimes I like to use colours to show that it's a bright and hot sunny day, and on others I like to give the impression that it's a little cloudy, a little windy, and how the lack of bright sunshine dilutes the colours a little.
Isn't it amazing how some images 'speak' to your creative soul ... and this is one of them. Another is Guylou's Fahra, but I digress ...
The rest of my card is pretty simple so as not to detract from the image ... Striped DP, a chippie sentiment and some pearls and wooden beads strung onto raffia. There is a real shell attached to the sentiment.
I would like to add this card to the following challenges too:
365 CARDS, DAY 147, 'PLAYING THE ODDS' (1 sentiment, 1 shell, 3 beads in a set, 1 DP, 1 image, ...)

Oh Jen I saw this image from Vicki's and I had to stop by and take a closer look. I just love this one of her's and you have coloured it so beautifully it has come alive. I love the raffia with the beads on...
