Sand and Sea

Happy Tuesday!

Inspired By Challenges #245 provided a fun scene of Beach Decor to work from this week. The only beachy things I have are some stamps from previous Paper Pumpkin kits and some retired patterned paper. So I pulled it out to make my card for this challenge. I used both the inspiration photo and the sketch.
