I made the background using an embossing folder. Embossed the card, inked it, spritzed it, dried, then inked it again, so it is soft and sharp at the same time.
I also like using torn edges so here is the sea with foam and sky with wispy cloud on it's edges.
Actually, thinking about it, everything is from magazine freebies.
The starfish and sandcastle are popped up on 3D foam.

This is AWESOME Carol! Thanks for all the tips ... I had totally forgotten about inking my embossing folders! This turned out great and LOVE the torn edges! Perfect to create that blue sky for the birds and the foamy water's edge! WELL DONE! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Double D ‘Let’s Go To The Beach’ challenge!

Beautiful cards. I love the colors. I so remember making sand castles. It's a little (a lot) more difficult to get on the ground now. [Bunny]
