I really wish I could live up to my post title and just RELAX...this is most stressful time of the year for me. It's the end of school, and the work is piling up...FAST! I expect it, but this year there's been a few surprises thrown in that have upset/irritated/stressed me more than usual. Needless to say, a day at the beach sounds heavenly right about now.All the stress inspired me to create this soothing scene. I started with Kazan's Sketch 52. The bottom layers became ocean waves and sand...I sponged each to add depth and tore the edge of the kraft layer. Then I stamped my scene, popping the umbrella up on dimensionals and adding some bling to my sun. Hope you like it!
