Using a soft brush and blue ink on white cardstock, I made the sky. Next, I layered some paper that looks like sand, with the top edge torn for a rough effect. The water is handmade blue paper with some sparkly flakes in it. It looks like water glistening in the sun. On a scrap piece of cardstock, with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and the Life Is Too Short stamp, I stamped the beach items and sentiment. I colored all items with colored pencils and cut them out. I attached them to the front of the card.
I really enjoyed making this one, particularly choosing the "fabric" for Esther Variant's dress.
I stamped and colored her with Copics using my MISTI/Memento/Versafine method. I stamped her again on patterned paper and fussy cut the dress. I colored up her necklace using red so I wouldn't have to trim out her necklace separately.
I stamped the FYI sentiment using Versafine Clair Nocturne and mounted the card front on a black base.

I stamped the Girls Umbrella and the Flower Border with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I stamped a few extra flowers on a scrap piece of paper and cut them out. I used Copic markers and colored the umbrella and flowers. I stamped the word Hello in the lower corner with VersaFine Clair Nocturne Ink. Next, using a blue marker, I added some raindrops. I scattered the 3 flowers that I cut out on the card. I added a die-cut frame to the finished cardstock. Layered that on yellow striped paper and put that on top of a white brick embossed paper. A final layer of blue finishes the card.
He used 2 different dies and mounted it on white and red cardstock.
