Just Us Girls #336

And another week rolls around.  Time for a photo challenge from Just Us Girls.
I have to say that I must have looked at this photo 10 times and went through all my stamps wondering what I could do for my card.  While looking for something else I noticed some seashells on my PTI Summer Jar Fillers and bingo!
I die cut a LF stitched panel from watercolor paper, stamped, painted and masked the seashells,  and then gave the panel a wash from top to bottom. Leaving the masks in place, I splattered some DI and used the Tim Holtz Distress Marker sprayer.  Instant sand!  The seagulls were hand drawn with my IdentiPen.

Need more inspiration?  Head on over to Just Us Girls to see what the rest of the design team has for you.  We'd love to see your photo inspired card in the gallery this week. You might be chosen Chic of the Week with a possibility of being a future Guest Designer.
