Inspired By #83... the sea

The only sea I see happens to be a Lake … but just as beautiful from where we're sitting!  Here is our Inspired By #83 photo...


I had a bit of fun with Distress Oxides, and a simple little slip of acetate to start my card.  Then, with the help of one tiny little sand dollar die, I completed my card!

Inside:
We'll collect a few memories!
 
Hope you have a few sea shells from the seashore to share... say THAT five times!

Michele I would love to know how you did the background for this card. It's a real beauty. Would like to see a video of this technique. Do you have a link for it.
