Ombre Beach ~ FMS396, JAI465, Fusion, IBC

Hello there stampers!  Well, today's card is completely for fun!  It's been a long, long time since I've made a card that wasn't for one of the design teams that I'm on.  I saw a few challenges today and figured I'd play along.  I was able to combine quite a few, actually!  

First, I was taken with the photo from Inspired By....Beach Day.  Next was Just Add Ink #465 which is just add season.  My season is summer, obviously!  Then I played along with Fusion Ombre challenge using hues of blue.  Lastly, I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #396.

To make my card I started off with my Waterfront stamp set.  I stamped a Crumb Cake sandy beach with some hills in the background.  Next, I stamped some water using Balmy Blue and Pacific Point.  I sponged more Balmy Blue and Pacific Point onto the sky.  I stamped the palm trees and bungalow in Night of Navy.  I cut the whole thing down using my Stitched Nested  Labels die.  I then ran the whole thing through my Big Shot with my Pinewood Planks 3D.  I stamped the Thank You banner on a left over strip of sponged sky.  

To mimic the sketch, I added some strips of Wood Textures DSP and wrapped a bit of linen twine around each.  I also added twine to the main panel.  

Lastly I popped the label up on dimensionals.
