...See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows
How far it goes..

It's been a while since I created my last scene on a card and I was eager to get into Summer mood with a beach full of rainbow crabs *_*

First I stamped the crab from the A Little Shellfish stamp set multiple times using Memento Rich Cocoa ink on a sheet of Heffy Doodle Alcohol Marker Friendly cardstock. I also stamped other images from the same stamp set, the letter from Yappy Happy Mail and the gift and party hat from Koality Hugs and I colored everything with a wide range of Copic Markers. I added highlights with a white gel pen and then used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

For the background I die cut the biggest Stitched Slimline Trio rectangle and ink blended the top with Distress Oxide Tumbled Glass to color the sky. I die cut several other rectangles and used the waves and the hill dies from the Slimline Scenery set to create the sea (using Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers, Broken China, Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch) and the sand (Distress Oxide Antique Linen and Walnut Stain). Once I was happy with the result, I glued them over the first rectangle and my base was done.
