SSD - life of your dreams

Today is my last day as a Skipping Stones Design Guest Designer.  Since there are 5 Tuesdays in May, they are mixing things up with an inspiration photo instead of a sketch.  Check it out:

I liked that serene beachy image SO much that I printed it out to use on my card.

 I stamped the sentiment with a stamp from SSD's Healing Wings set.

To make the frame, I embossed white cardstock with this texture plate from Lil' Inker, and cut out the center portion.  I left a little bit extra around the inside of the frame and folded it down so that the frame would be raised off of the paper.  To complete that inner border, I adhered a thin strip of cardstock all the way around.

Thanks for stopping by, and head back to Skipping Stones to see what the others made :)
