Retirement Wishes

I like to pair the Oceanfront and Paradise Palms stamp sets to create a beach scene complete with palm trees.  It is easy to add layers and texture with die cuts and embellishments as well, although for this card I did not add either of those.

For the ocean, I used Pool Party ink and stamped the images from the Oceanfront set several times and in some places, I stamped more than one time in each spot. I did the same for the beach using Crumb Cake ink.

Supplies:

Oceanfront, Paradise Palms

Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Mango Medley, Old Olive, 

Soft Suede ink

Basic White, Cinnamon Cider, Pool Party card stock
