Wishing You Oceans of Happiness

Hi Crafty Friends,
I was inspired by Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge #226 Summer Theme. I used Newton's Nook Summer Moments Stamp Set and CASEd Tina Herbeck's Design. I just love the ombre blue and how she did glitter on the water.

A: Me? Lake, much calmer and no salt

    So pretty! Love the water and sky!
    I love the ocean. I'm not a swimmer, but I love walking along the shore and looking for pieces of sea glass.

    I like both. Lakes are peaceful but usually very buggy and if you swim in them, I HATE the feel of the bottom of a lake ICK ICK! At the beach (or, in my area of the mid-Atlantic, the "shore"), I don't mind walking in the shallow area and I don't mind the salt, but just the hassle of getting to the beach is a lot... I generally end up in the mountains at a lake. My father-in-law lives on a lake but in SC, the lake he lives on is always like bathwater.
    Your cards are super - I love the one w/ the lighter sand and no blue border, especially.

    Fabulous scene, Meghan! The technique you used to create the ocean is so clever. Thank you for joining our challenge at Double Trouble #170. I have lived more than half of my life within an hour of an ocean. While I enjoy the serenity of a lake, I love the sounds and smells of the ocean best.

    I prefer pools. However, snorkeling in the ocean and seeing the sea turtles is amazing. Great cards! Love the ink blended backgrounds. Thank you for playing with us at Park Hopping My Happy Place.

    Meghan, what a gorgeous card! I really like how you used the scallop die to create a frame, rather than a mat. Thank you for sharing your card with us at Double Trouble!! P.S. I'll take the ocean anytime... I can't get enough of watching the waves roll in and the tides changing.

    This is DARLING!! I love the double stenciling! The colors and beautiful and the ocean vibe is perfection. And I'd choose ocean for sure! I love the salty water and the seashells that I can find :) Thanks for sharing this at Double Trouble!

    Wow what a fantastic scene you have created for us at Colorful Options. I love the beautiful ombre effect you have achieved. You really are a whizz at coloring. I prefer the sea and as I'm lucky to have the Mediterranean here at my feet I so look forward to dipping my toes in in the summer.

    Pretty card. The glitter waves are perfect. It reminds me of how the sun sparkles on waves in the ocean. Thanks for joining us at Die Cut Divas.
