beachy goodness...

it's just beachy today.  ok, not really.  but i'm dreaming.  it is friday, though.  friend with flair.  would be better if it were friends with flair hanging out on a beach day.  *sigh*  i'll have to pretend i'm with my friend andrea that went to hawaii yesterday.    but on to fwf.  i have been putting off a set of atcs for a swap suzi is throwing, themed "life's a beach".   i love this stamp from the june kit of the month.  i never quite figured out what to do with it, though.  till now.  i used the emboss resist technique and first embossed the image with clear embossing powder then sponged on different colors of ink.  a cool look with this technique.

here's to friday and the weekend.  go hop on over to the other fwf peeps.  and watch for the special blinkie!

    simply making me homesick! i grew up in hawaii, left when i was 36 to live in the high desert of oregon. ugh! i have been wishing to return so bad cause i am so tired of long winters, but your cards have put a warm smile on my face and we're having a bit of indian summer now.! just lovely!!

    I love how you used the technique to highlight the different elements of the stamp! I, too, have wondered how to best use that stamp -- you've totally inspired me.
