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.
