Seize the Birthday - Beachy Birthday

Yes, it is that time again for another great challenge at Seize the Birthday. 
 
Our "Toppings" option this time is...
Beachy Birthday




                               If you're not a toppings kinda person, well.....you can just
                                       stick with our usual "Anything Goes"Birthday!


The choice is yours!
 
Here is my example for your inspiration.
 My thoughts went right to the beautiful beaches of Naples Florida.  We are able to spend our winters there.  The sunsets are an experience for sure.  So I made my card a scene of that famous Naples pier and the beach.  I used two of the Stamp sets from Gina K designs, By the Sea 2 and Framescape Tropical Skies.  A little water coloring for the ocean.  Notice my huge sun. How can you not, I think I overdid that.   


Naples Pier
