Since moving to Florida almost 4 weeks ago, I've been to Clearwater beach and New Smyrna Beach in Daytona. Beautiful!! I love the beach! So I was really excited when I found out this week's challenge was going to the beach. Here's my version of that challenge.
I really love taking real photographs and incorporating them into my stamping. I want to send this card to someone very close to me - I'm sure it'll get the message across. Anyway, the background is a photo I took of New Smyrna Beach in Daytona. It's only about 40 minutes from my house and it's glorious! I imported the photo into a word program and then sized it to the dimensions I wanted. Then I added a text box over it, added the sentiment and then changed the font color to white. I was trying to figure out how to rotate it and pick a font that looked like writing in the sand, but I didn't quite make it. This looks good anyway.
