9 minutes and 14 seconds start to finish for my card today with a water theme. If it’s not raining, it is summertime hot and humid so I felt the need for an ocean shoreline scene for some cool serenity. Using Taylored Expressions Sandy Shores split background stamp everything was aligned in my Misti removing the sand (bottom portion) and inking the ocean water with TE’s cookie monster ink which stamped so nicely on the first try. Then putting the sand portion in place and removed the top part and stamped in TE’s toffee ink. This was a little more splotchy at first so inked it twice. Next came my silhouette images which are a Gina K Designs go to Vintage Summer card kit Ocean Silhouettes set for me. Once again thank goodness for the Misti, aligned the bottom silhouette portion, then added a sentiment and the gulls stamping all in Versafine Black Onyx and decided to add one more silhouette palm tree for balance. Thank goodness my inky fingers didn’t make a mess on my image which was adhered to a kraft card base. If I had a bit more time, I would have added a bit of splatter. It’s always fun to play along with the Speed Challenge at:

As I sit here looking out at the winter chill, I wish I was on your tropical beach right now! Love the colours you’ve chosen, the movement of the water and the tropical silhouette. Thanks for being brave enough to take on a speed challenge! Thanks for joining us at As You See It. 🙂
Thanks, it’s always fun to play along. The beaches near me are not tropical so this takes me aways too!
I love your foam at the edge of your waves. Great card.
