Oceans of joy to you

 We are having a a hot, humid stretch that started so making a beach card was a great idea today. I used this great image from Gecko Galz and I have a net like die behind that I distressed with tan and gray inks and put some thread behind the image to give the feel of seaweed. With this gal pulling her hair back it let's you think there is a gentle breeze - I'm sure that she is not sweating like we are in this heat, lol. I will be entering this in the 

Dream higher and deeper

Well here is something totally different that I did. I finally played with my Lavinia Stamps and made a scene with VersaFine ink. I made an two easel cards and on the inside I heat embossed a Lavinia sentiment and then added some die cuts and a button to have it stamp up. I just love seahorses and this Sebastian. He's so intricate.
