Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.  For today's card, I wanted to show that while you can create gorgeous, intricate landscape scenes with Stampin' Up's Waterfront stamp set, you can also keep it simple and still come away with a beautiful card.  Here's some pictures of today's card:

To create this card, I first cut out a stitched circle using the Stitched Shapes framelit dies.  I then stamped my sand with Crumb Cake ink.  Next, I stamped my ocean using Coastal Cabana (stamped off) and then Pacific Point (stamped off). Next, I stamped my beach hut in Coastal Cabana ink.  I then stamped the trunks of the palm trees with Soft Suede ink (first full strength, then stamped off for further away trees).  I then stamped the tops of the trees with Granny Apple Green, full strength, then stamped off, then skewed the stamp a bit and added some Garden Green, stamped off once, then twice.  Next, I stamped my sun with Mango Medley ink.  I then created masks for my sun and beach hut using post-it notes and then stamped my sky using Coastal Cabana (stamped off twice), Melon Mambo, stamped off twice, and Daffodil Delight, stamped off twice.  Finally, I stamped the dots in my ocean with Pacific Point ink.  I then adhered my stamped circle panel to a scalloped circle cut from Coastal Cabana cardstock and cut from the Layering Circles framelit dies.  I then cut a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstick to 1 3/4 by 4" and ran it through my Big Shot with my Seaside Textured Embossing Folder.  I then adhered that panel to a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, which measures 5 1/4" by 4".  I then stamped my sentiment with Coastal Cabana ink.  Next, I wound some White Baker's Twine around the Crumb Cake panel and then adhered the entire panel to a Coastal Cabana card base, cut at 8 1/2" by 5 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4".  I adhered my layered circles with dimensionals and then added some glitter enamel dots for a finishing touch.  What do you think?
