Well, without further ado, let's get this post started!

First up is an 3x5 Index Card.

I sprayed the card with several colors of Art Anthology.  On the bottom I used Avocado and Sandcastle and for the top of the card I used Glorious, Siesta Key, and Marlin.  I then stamped Seagrass Lighthouse at the bottom and Beach Day across the top.  To finish up the index card, I hand drew squares and dashes around the edge.  It just doesn't photograph near as well as it shows in person (& I tried!).

I'm starting to feel a little more confident about creating cards, so I gave it a try with the Batick Shell Swirls stamp.  It makes the perfect card background.  I stamped it in black ink and then colored in the swirls with LSG Tiffany Lou Blue and Merci Beaucoup Mint.  I then matted it on a multi-colored piece of scrapbook paper.  Next, I stamped Beachin' It onto a piece of white card in Coral Ink and cut it out, matting it on the same scrapbook paper.  I ran a piece of multicolored ribbon with the same colors as my paper across the card and under the paper.  I placed Beachin' It over the ribbon, glued it down, and then mounted the entire card on a piece of white card.

Yep, there just HAD to be an ATC in the mix somewhere.  I stamped Keep Sailing onto my ATC blank in black ink using my Misti for perfect alignment.  I then used Art Anthology Glorious to color the moon, Valentine to color the flag, Marlin & Siesta Key to color the water, French Toast to color the edges, and French Toast & Salmon to color the boat.  I finished off by painting the stars with Metallique Silver Spoon and added a piece of (very reflective as you can see) black trim at the top.
