Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #56 - Beautiful Beaches

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

woo-hoooo!

how adorable is this challenge! it's everything I love: Lawn Fawn, beaches and those colors - swoon!!!! loooooooving this challenge!
for my card, I went interactive!

I am in LOOOOOOVE with how this turned out!! to start I did lots of ink blending with Distress Inks!
I used Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio for the ocean, and then Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber for the sand! 
I also added some 'foam' to the sea (a la Kelly Latevola, check out her video here!) with a dry, firm paint brush and some white acrylic paint!

the little love birds were stamped and combined using Mermaid for You and Screen Time stamp sets! eeeeep! I really think they came out so great!
and then the dolphin from Critters in the Sea, is jumping for joy with the assist from the Let's Toast Pull Tab Add-On die set!! eeeeep!! 

and of course, I had to finish off the card with a custom sentiment using my all time fave: Harold's ABC's!
oh, forgot to mention, all of the images were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut out!

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!
enjoy!
