Boardwalk Beauty...

'Boardwalk Beauty' was provided for my use by RSD
and can be found here at Zibbet
I'm goin' a tich weird on ya' -  I wanted something DIFFerent for this RSD image.  Went digging thru my papers and found one sheet of the heavy CS with a linear pattern on it - [can't see it here] - looked like sand to me, a very thin sheet of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper with fish swimming endlessly and the hazy-autumn-burnt- orange with suns(?), flowers(?), fireworks(?) on it.  Then I just had to come up with something to tie it all to my 'Beauty'.  Ripping the edges of the 'sand' and the fishy paper made it look like foam on the waves... so done and done.  Wanted the last sheet to be a fantasy sky & sun - envisioned ribbons coming out in rays (see this version I first came up with which is now on the inside ):
Inside of card
But I liked the loose version better with the 'rays' bursting out like solar flairs.  Somehow represents more heat to me and enhances the 3-D aspect of the design.
Added eyes to some of my fish and real shells to the tide line - and of course my beauty, who should not have stepped off the boardwalk in those heels!
This is for 613 Ave C's ATG Challenge starting today.  You can enter up to three projects for a chance for a prize from either Rick St dennis  (I can ALWAYS find something I like from this man's inventory!).

    3. Great card! It's nice to shake things up a bit sometimes and do something a bit different. Your coloring is absolutely perfect on the image. Her bathing costume looks stunning.

    4. Thanks Ginny for your comment. this is rather an unusual make but then 'Rick's' images lend themselves to a different approach and you have created a fabulous seaside scene here. Love the sandy beach, those rays of sunshine and the gorgeously coloured and layered image too.
