That means some great inspiration using Wee Stamps and Wild Rose Studio at Magnolia-Licious
I decided to keep with a Summer theme and use the gorgeous Goldie by Wee Stamps. It took a couple of attempts to get this card right, I have half finished cards in other color combinations on my desk but once I found the lighthouse in my drawer of "beach" themed goodies I knew I had to go the soft color theme route.

Card Recipe:
Image - Goldie by Wee Stamps
Medium - Copic Markers
Paper - DCWV
Sentiment - DCWV
Lighthouse - Provo Craft
Die Cut - Sizzix
Trim - Multicraft Imports
Mesh Ribbon - Mon Ami Gabby
Shell Buttons - Dress It Up
Shine - Diamond Glaze by Judikins
Embossing Enamel - Iced Ivory by Stampendous
Now with the ocean theme I decided it was the perfect time to do a little "Frantaging" and the Aged Ivory was the perfect color, looks like sparkly sand when heated. I added Diamond Glaze to the bubbles and I'm really pleased with the results. The mesh and trim I picked up at a scrapbook expo in June and the little shell buttons I have had for ages.
After a couple of false starts I really love the end result and hope you will too.
Please pop over to Magnolia-Licious to see what my teammates in team B have to show you, you will be in for a treat I know!
