The Alley Way Stamps: Enjoy the Ride!!

I was crafting yesterday on a sweltering summer day and decided that I was going to do a beach scene so that I could imagine myself in the cool water!!

Enjoy the Ride

As much as I would love to claim credit for that beach - I totally CASed it from Karen.  I simplified it somewhat - look closely at hers and how the layers all fit together - it's amazing!  I added a little sunburst embossing - and I'm feeling cooler already!!

  • Stamps: The Alley Way Stamps Tropical Hideaway, all about YOU (sentiment)
  • Paper: Papertrey Ink Classic Kraft, Neenah Desert Storm, Stampin Up Daffodil and Baja, American Crafts Soho Garden 6x6
  • Ink: Memento Black
  • Accessories: My Favorite Things Snow Drifts and Wavy Edge dies, Papertrey Ink impression plate (I think it's been discontinued?), Ellen Hutson Daffodil and Water Sequins

  6. P.S. If the ATCAS (Addicted to CAS) challenge is still on, this would be perfect for "teenager!" Unless that is one of the sites you are on the DT for. I loose track, sorry.
