3 Times the Fun at Heart 2 Heart!

This week is going to be fun!  The Heart 2 Heart Challenges this week is times 3 - use at least three different images to create a scene.


I really enjoyed this challenge. I had started a card for our earlier Cold Challenge and my family informed me that it did not remind them of Cold.  I love the new stamp set called Summer Breeze that I used for this card.  My problem was that I only had two images stamped.  The stamps in this set are very detailed and feature more than one image on each stamp.  But I decided not to cheat and added an island and stamped some trees on the island so I am now legit!  LOL

So, let me set the scene for my card.  Imagine a lighthouse on the coast of Maine in the early Spring.  The sky is blue, the birds are singing (or whatever it is that sea gulls do).  The water is COLD and so is the temperature, right?  Hear that family?  It is COLD!  Oh well.  Here is my card.

Once again I pulled out my trusty brayer. The images are colored with my blending pen and ink from the stamp pads and then embossed to resist the ink from the brayer.  The beach is sponged with Desert Sand and Brown Bag and I hope that it reminds you of a sandy beach.  The frothy waves are drawn in with my Signo white gel pen.
