This is a From the Heart Stamps image which I've had for a while and never used. Since it hit the low 90s here today, I'm thinking of summer travel to the beaches and playing in the sand. That song, "Summertime, ... and the livin' is easy ..." is running through my head. :-D
I colored the sky, water, and sand with my ProMarkers and was about to start on the pail when I realized how much I liked it as a black and white line drawing. That led me to think about doing the card in all black and white and that's the end result. Die cuts by Spellbinders, embossing with a Cuttlebug folder, and bow done with striped ribbon from my stash.

I hope you're enjoying spring weather, not like the heat they are saying we'll have for three days. After that, it's supposed to return to our norms in the low-70s and I'll be very happy for that. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie
This is the sketch I used, adjusted for a horizontal card
instead of a vertical one - From the Heart Stamps.
