ok, let's get onto my card!
I used these adorably festive flamingos from Paperie Ink: Fla La La Mingo!

so cute!

I colored all of the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and then fussy cut them out!
I used Newton's Nook's Land Borders Dies and Sea Borders Dies to add the waves of the ocean!

I used Distress Inks in Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvaged Patina to ink blend color on the waves. then I used the same colors and water to add texture to the waves!

I ink blended the sandy beach in Vintage Photo and Fossilized Amber. then I splattered color, water and white acrylic ink on top to add the sandy texture!

the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto the wave. and then I added some snowy texture to the sky with white embossing paste and a stencil!

don't forget to comment on Jenn's blog post and play along, too! 
enjoy!
