Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

Take a look at this fun sketch from our design team at Atlantic Hearts! At first this sketch intimidated me a bit with all those stripes. But then the light bulb went off!  Once I saw the stripes as waves of water and sky I was ready to create! I tore the edge of the water and sand stripes to resemble waves flowing onto a beach. The sky stripes I left as solid pieces. The cardstock was used on both the actual color side and the lighter side to create layers of color.

Next I stamped three whales and tucked them into the waves. The hearts are covered with a shimmer brush and the waves are accented with Stickles. A frame made with a Thin Cut die finished it off as if you're looking out the window! I left the inside blank so I can customize a message later.
