This week's CAS-ual Fridays challenge is to create a travel-related card. Memories of trips to the beach inspired the card below.

| Negative of Tree (cut from DCWV Travel Stack) in Distress Ink black walnut and Zig chocolate marker Distress Ink core, lightly sanded and sponged in various Distress Inks computer-generated sentiment (Lucida Handwriting); Hero Arts gems Creative Memories corner rounder |
The idea for this card was stuck in my brain -- along with the original sentiment "Got Lotion?" The card itself is not quite what I envisioned, but it's close.
One of the execution challenges was evening out the color of the tree since I was inking on top of two different papers. My solution was to color with a Zig chocolate marker. There's still a little variation, but it's not nearly as pronounced.
Another change I would make is in the break down of tan vs. blue. Think the card would be just a touch better with a little less tan and a little more blue.
Thinking of trying this again with some watered down acrylic -- going for more of an ombre effect.
Parting Thoughts
Wasn't sure I'd get to the CAS-ual Friday challenge this week since my brother's family is visiting. As it turns out, I'm so excited about the visit that I can't sleep. So, what's a girl to do? And, what better theme for the week than a travel theme?
As always, thanks for stopping by and happy scrappin'!

The simplicity of this card caught my attention on the CASual Fridays gallery and I had to come see how you did it. I love it!!
