An ocean, really?

I have another card for this week's CAS-ual Fridays.



When I first started to play along, I intended to make a card for my cousin's 55th birthday. It is a Hawaiian theme party and wouldn't you know it, I do not own a single beach themed stamp. The images from my Create a Critter cartridge, hmmm, a little too juvenile, don't ya think? So how do I create a masculine, Hawaiian card? Well, it is a bit of a stretch, but here goes:

I created blue scallops out of tissue paper to mimic the ocean. I chose kraft to represent the sand. Finally, a yellow button to represent the sun. TFL!
