Seaside

 Val has chose the theme of Seaside or Anything goes for this
challenge at Allsorts. 
 
 My card:

I blended oxide inks on my back ground. I added a darker
brown to the sand area using a stamp from Stampin Up.
Palm tree die is from Inloveartshop but the name is
 not on the packaging-this is my first time using
this die (NBUS) 
 
It would be lovely relaxing seaside right now! 
  
 Supplies:
Inloveartshop die-name unknown 
Stampin Up Waterfront stamp set
 
 See what my talented team mates have made and
the collection of stamps for one winner from Stamp Addicts 

 
 
A few fun challenges:
Cut It Up #360-Create your own background   7/21
 
NBUS challenge #88- first time using the palm tree die 
The Paper Funday Challenge #89: Twist of Splash  8/3 
Top 3

Gorgeous colours for your background Donna and they show up the silhouettes perfectly.

Beautiful tropical atmosphere in this seaside card, with your softly blended oxide background giving the sky and water such smooth transitions. The deeper brown stamped texture in the sand adds great definition, and that NBUS palm tree die works perfectly as a silhouette against the vivid colors. The whole scene feels warm, calm, and inviting — exactly the kind of place you would want to escape to right now.

Terrific beach scene blending with your Doxies, Donna! The silhouette palm trees make it look like a secret entrance to a private beach ... I'd be all over it! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

This is a really striking card, Donna! I love how you did that background. It really pops and the palm trees around it are really nice. I also like how you stamped the sand on. Great look!
