Fun at the Beach - Vintage Card for Country View Challenges

Hello and welcome today, 

we are having a really hot summer here, so I decided to choose a picture from Gecko Galz which shows some vintage Ladies at the beach. I made  a card again.

First I made a lace with a silicone mold and light modeling paste and adhered it with matte medium.

Then I colored the background with acrylic paints, highlighted with wax paste and matted my picture with patterned paper. Then I put everything together and embellished the card with tinted cloth, colored flowers, a seashell and a stamped saying.

Here are some close ups:

Oh, one thing I wanted to mention: we had a total moon eclipse this week, it was very impressive! I tried to take some photos of it. You even could see the Mars (it´s the smaller point in the second photo).

That´s it from my side today, I hope you feel inspired to make something beachy for our challenge this month!
Thank you for your visit today and have a wonderful summer!
