I recently took a class on how to make ocean views. We were encouraged to use elements that were nautical. I made several cards that were views of the beach from the ocean. I got home and saw a time share commercial. That Miami time share looked mighty inviting! I will have a tutorial on how to make this card later in the week.

This card looks like a Take 10 magazine card to me. I used cardstock scraps for the strips.

I am going to keep my eyes open for your tutorial. This is STUNNING!!! The sky, ocean, sand and love the cracked stamp at an angle giving the suggestion of an ancient road! Perfect setting to add columns!!! Your CAS is lovely too! Sure to add peace to someone's day!
