or you can use the 'anything goes' option as long as the main focus of your project is stamping.
I took my inspiration from the beach scene and the colours, using a variety of stamps, some of which were magazine freebies, I stamped the deckchair onto white cardstock, masked it and stamped again to create a matching pair, then stamped the beach umbrella, then cut the card into an L shape to fit the front my card base. Coloured the stamps and background beach scene with markers. The hat, book and sunglasses also coloured with makers and fussy cut. the sentiment is stamped and embossed with white EP.

Your card reminds me of childhood holidays on a beach with beautiful silver sands,we spent the whole day there,a beautiful card Chris
Even if the weather outside is still dreary your lovely card helps think of sunnier and warmer days and more importantly a day beside the sea.
