I made this card a while back to enter an original art contest by Cochlear America to display in their national headquarters. IT IS A WINNER. The story behind the card is being able to hear the sounds of the ocean waves. As I lost my hearing that is one sound that was lost. It was such an aha! moment after receiving a Cochlear implant to realize the waves coming to shore made a sound.
Inside
I used the wavy die from Stampin" Up! Swirly Bird Set. Some are cut with card stock paper and others with various colors of vellum. The sun and sailboat are from the same set. The palm tree and beachball are My Favorite Things. I did another palm tree inside.
Just Us Girls challenge so fits this card.
Also linking to Tuesday Throwdown favorite color challenge. Mine of course is blue.
And I see all the colors on my card in the photo inspiration by TIME OUT Challenges

I'd like to be sitting under a palm tree right now, watching and listening to the sights and sounds of boats and waves. You've really created a 'sense of place' with your card! Thrilled to see you in the JUGS gallery!
