The background is the gorgeous new Shells Stencil. I inked it up on kraft cardstock using salvaged patina distress oxide then went over the stencil again with translucent texture paste. It's super shiny and fun in real life, but was a bit camera shy.
For my next card, my girl is decked out with a flamingo floatie and flip flops, courtesy of the new Gnome Dies: Beach Add Ons. Her sun hat is from the Gnome Dies: Spring Add Ons and I accented with a stamp from the Hibiscus set. I created a little scene for her by masking off the bottom portion, then blending some blue inks, splattering with water for some spray. I then stippled a little white paint along the shore line. I then reversed the mask and used a brown ink for the sand, stippling with a darker brown ink for some texture. I assembled the gorgeous new Palm Tree Die to finish off the scene, then added a sentiment from Ahoy Gnomie, cut with the outline dies, then hand cut to separate to fit in the space I had left over.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Here's the scoop on the new release...

Oh I could do with some vitamin Sea at the moment - we are so 'over' the rain this year... roll on summer, and hopefully it will be sunny and dry this time around!
Loving your gorgeous gnomies enjoying the beach and sea, Julee - fun and beautiful cards
