The inks are also from Hero Arts, their ombre inks, which I don't use enough. The card is largish...7 1/4" by 3 3/4" and fits into a standard envelope available at Marco's.
I love the beach. It's definitely a happy place for me. My husband...not so much. He's more a mountain or lake person. I love those, too. I'm flexible that way.
He's been researching places to retire (all near mountains or lakes), and out of the blue he asked me recently if I wanted to live near the beach. My emphatic no surprised him. Just because I love the beach doesn't mean I want to live there. Visiting periodically works just fine for me, and with global warming, living there doesn't seem like such a good idea for the long term. I'm practical that way.
But it's been years since I got sandy toes at Rehoboth Beach. YEARS! I feel like having some vitamin sea next time I am able to visit my sister and mom in Maryland, COVID permitting.
This card reminds me how long it has been.
How about you? Are you a mountain, lake, or beach person? Which location fills your soul? Or do all of them fill different needs?
Mercy, grace, peace, and love,
Susan

Beach person all the way. Grew up in So. California and my senior year in high school I spent every Saturday at the beach. I'm in Washington state now and the beaches just aren't the same .

In-land person. When I was young one of my older brothers tormented me with water stories. I fear getting in water (except a shower!) and am happy on the shore. We do live in the country and I am happy inside my house away from the snakes, frogs and other critters that roam our property!
ReplyDeleteMy happiest place is the stamp room or the sewing room.
I enjoyed your colors today and always enjoy your explanation of your process. Faye
