Seas The Day

 Hey Crafty Peeps!

It was fairly sunny here today, but very chilly. Where I live right now I am totally land-locked, but I used to live in a seaside town back home. I'm an air sign so I can be pretty much anywhere, but sometimes I do miss being able to walk along the beach. I'm trying to imagine some summer warmth right now, so 'Gifts From The Sea' by Power Poppy seemed the perfect image to bring back some memories.

I've brought a bit of mermaid vibes to my card by using a scales embossing folder on pearl card. Pearls and some Fran·táge to emulate a bit of sea foam finish the look off nicely.

I kept the colours fairly muted for the actual image as I wanted it to be quite soft and natural.
