Hello! My card today was created with a photo that I made at the beach on Captiva Island last year. I thought it would make a great card with a few enhancements made with Photoshop making the photo appear as a watercolor. I printed the photo on watercolor paper after doing some editing and eliminating the blackbirds. (see original photo below) I added some color highlights using color pencils on the sand, beach, umbrellas, and chairs. I stamped a GKD sentiment with Memento Espresso Truffle ink and adhered the image to a GKD card stock to finish. I really enjoy creating cards with my own photos as well as stamping and coloring images. I hope this card is considered for the challenges that I am entering even though it was made with only one sentiment stamp.
Challenges:
Just Us Girls Challenge: #399 Photo Week-Summer Vacation. The challenge photo reminded me of my photo below so I used it to create my entry.
Make My Monday: Challenge #49 Summer Brights---bright yellow and bright blues from a sunny day.
Crazy 4 Challenges: C4C 391 Include some water on your card.

I call this scene "The Yellow Brigade". These chairs and umbrellas were set up
early every morning by a group of vacationers during some of the weeks that we
were on the beach in Captiva. I photographed it several times from different
angles over the past few years. This was one of my favorite artistic shots.

Have a great day! I love reading your comments.
