Sea You at the Beach Card by February Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle

Hello, friends! This is Jennifer Ingle here again with a card I'm hoping makes you feel the warmth of the sun just a little bit. Living in a coastal town just south of Boston means I see a lot of winter. Around this time of year, I tend to start dreaming of glorious beach days in the warm sunshine with my toes in the sand and a cool drink in my hand. I had to pull out the Summer Moments Stamp Set and coordinating die set to bring me there!

I stamped my image and colored it entirely in grey scale as I knew I wanted that gorgeous Retro Sun & Palms Stencil to shine as the background of the card. I love how cool this image looks in black and white against that beautiful warm toned sunset.

I used ink blending brushes along with the stencil to create the sunshine with yellows, oranges, and a pinky sort of red tone. The sentiment is stamped directly over the ink blending in black in to make it really pop.

Sigh... those beach days will be here soon enough. And for now, I guess I'll try to enjoy the snow!

Have a great day!
