The Mighty Ocean Shining the Light and MORE!

Happy Tuesday! I have a CAS card to share with you today. At least it is CAS for me. I am using ODBD newly released The Mighty Sea set along with Eternity stamp set. I am playing along with ODBD Shining the Light Challenge to create a scene! I love this new ocean image. While this image looks fabulous colored, it still looks just as good just inked to me. I did rock and roll it a bit to give it some hues of blues and tans to mimi a more ocean, sand, sky look. Love the results.

I then stamped the quote directly to the image to finish the focal point. I layered with Simple Stories Generations dp. I finished with some brown seam binding, button, and a few brown gems and metal photo corner.

I did give a subtle stamping using some vintage cream ink with a french script background to the petite gingham background. It is subtle, but offers a little extra detail.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
