Footprints in the sand...

I have another summery/beachy card to share today. I started by inking up an acrylic block using  Distress Inks (Scattered Straw, Wild Honey, Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans & Stormy Sky) then spritzing it with water before stamping on to plain white card. I then used a mixture of Scattered Straw and Pumice Stone inks to paint 'footprints' in the sand along the edge of the 'shoreline'. The I simply added a sentiment (from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp) and matted in on to black card.
