As many of my northern friends are heading south for the winter, I'm dreaming of warm beaches and sunshine!

Process
A solid paper from APP Beach was used as the base. It was duplicated, blending mode changed to Multiply with a reduced opacity to darken it a bit. The shells and starfish were layered on the page in a triangle shape. Some of the items were recolored, rotated and resized. Magic Sprinklez, stars and water drops were layered under the shells, filling in some of the spaces. A gold paint brush and paint splatters were also added to fill in space. Ocean waves transfers from APP Ocean Cove were placed on the page to add more texture. To complete the page the raffia frame from APP Airy and word art were added.

Thank you for looking!
