I created 2 inspiration cards.

using

Several techniques were used for this card.
The sky was stenciled.
Card stock was torn for a sandy beach effect.
3 of the image stamps were used from the stamp set.
I stamped, colored with Prismacolor pencils and fussy cut.
2 of the sentiments were stamped on cloud die cuts.
The grasses were die cut and hand cut thinner.

For the 2nd card, I stamped, colored and fussy cut the cute fish.
Circles were die cut to form frames.
A sentiment from the stamp set was stamped onto a circle die cut.
I added the "DANG" die cut.
A ship's wheel was die cut and added.
Some confetti embellishments were adhered.
My background is a pattern paper from my stash, 
as well as the glitter and metallic card stocks.
