Welcome to our Create with Stamping Friends Inspiration Monday challenges. This week’s inspiration is a wonderful beach scene!

RELAXING WATERSIDE
I love me some beach time! One of my favorite spots to vacation!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Basic Beige cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Balmy Blue cardstock was masked and the horizon brushed with Azure Afternoon Ink below the mask.
- The 2-1/2 x 4 piece of Basic Beige cardstock was torn across the top and White Gel Pen added across the torn piece for the waterline. It was also brushed with Crunk Cake Ink to resemble sand. The seagrass was stamped with Mossy Meadow Ink on both sides. It was added to the bottom of the Balmy Blue layer.
- Two seagulls were stamped with Memento Black Ink and colored with the White Gel Pen. The greeting was also stamped with Memento Black Ink in the upper left corner.
- The Adirondack chair and coffee cup were stamped with Memento Black Ink on Basic White cardstock and colored with Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Stampin’ Blends, the cup with Strawberry Slush Blends. They were cut with the Dies.
- The chair back was cut from Basic White cardstock and the bottom cut off to form the table. All were added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Some “steam” was drawn with the White Gel Pen above the coffee cup.

I can’t wait to play with this set some more. Lots of possibilities! OK, check out Debbie’s Inspiration Monday card over on Create with Stamping Friends!
