These are the elements I put together to make the card - I used various products and techniques to make them -
The sand - I mixed golden-sands infusions with a coarse texture paste and applied it to card and left to dry.
The sea: I used distress-paint-dabber---mermaid-lagoon, salty-ocean, evergreen-bough and pine-needles and used a marbelling technique to achieve the effect.
The sky - I used distress paint dabbers as above but added blueprint-sketch and picket-fence again I used a marbling technique. Whilst still wet I also added some snowflake paint using a babywipe.
The main image is from Crafty Individuals...
I also added some seashells I already had at home to the card.
