Craft a Scene March - Tropical Shores

Our theme for the month of March at Craft a Scene is tropical shores.  Our finished tropical creations should have beach, water, palm trees - that sort of thing.

 For my card I used a variety of stamps from Art Impressions, Stampscapes and Coronado Island, as well as an old company from my California days - Love You To Bits.

I am still working on learning water coloring with the Ranger Distress Pens and finding it fun and challenging to keep the color where I want it without getting splotchy.  I added white gel pen to the water for movement.
Card Recipe
Images: Stampscapes birds and ferns, the islands are from Love You To Bits (Redwood City, CA), palms are from Art Impressions and the dolphin school is Coronado Island.
Paper: SU Early Espresso, Bazzill Teal 
Markers/Ink: Ranger Distress pens watercolored
Embellishments: Starfish, Spellbinders label die, Prima pearls, white gel pen


Challenges for this card:
Be sure and take a look at what the wonderful Craft a Scene design team has come up with for your inspiration. 

Have a Great Sunday!
