This is a thank you card to my in-laws for an invite to vacation in Kauai with them. It is a CASE of a Zindorf scene with a little twist. This is the link to Zindorf post on Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/346284658824392500/

After sponging and brayering the sky, ocean and land, I stamped the foliage in Memento Black and hilighted with White gel pen. I stamped the flower from Peaceful Petals in Memento Black on the vellum (heat set or wait a long time to dry because it smears easily!). Then fixed the vellum over the beach scene with brads and mounted with white, and then espresso embossed with square lattice EF.

Seaside Retreat

This seaside scene was created using aqua painter on watercolor paper. Ink colors used: Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy, Island Indigo, Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar, So Saffron. I colored the sky, sea and sand and let it dry before stamping the images. Colored stamped images with markers.
