Surprisingly the background paper is from the new Country Woods DSP from Stampin' UP! It has a slight wood grain with color variations that made me think of a beach. I enhanced that look by sponging on colors. Then I embossed some waves with a Sizzix E/F. The tree is from a sticker set from Happy Memory Keeping from JoAnns. For the sun, I die cut a circle in yellow and sponged on a little orange. The beach ball is from My Favorite Things.
I used this sketch from Freshly Make Sketches My card is the mirror image.
And adding to challenge at Can You Handle The Pressure Anything goes with a twist of beachy.

Your use of that embossing folder added the perfect touch! I don't know how you even thought of it. This is a fun card and a great interpretation of the sketch.
