and oh boy, do I wish I was there! ha!!
I combined a bunch of summer themed sets for this card, and I love how well they all work together!

I used Corgi Beach, Newton's Summer Vacation and Dog Days of Summer Stamp Sets! all of the images were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then fussy cut out!
I added some glitter to the polka dots on the floats and glossy accents to the goggles!!

I did lots of ink blending on my card, too! I used Distress Inks in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio for the waves! and for the sandy beach, I used Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo1 then I splattered some white acrylic paint and water on the waves, and the same for the sand, but also a darker ink pad to emphasize the sandy-feel!
the waves were die cut with the Sea Borders Dies and the sandy beach was die cut with the Land Borders Die Set!

be sure to check this card out on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!
