Oh I do like to be beside the seaside!

Hello there!
Although it is actually raining at this moment,the theme for this weeks "Less is More Challenge"   is a lucky dip and the lovely team has picked a seaside them!
Here is what they say:
We have another song theme which this time is... 
I do like to be beside the seaside!
Anything with a reference to the sea or the beach or things nautical will be fine as long as your creation is Clean and Simple!
So here is my seaside card,and I now feel like a holiday as I haven't managed to get away this year.
I masked off the card to create the beach and sea,with distress inks of tumbled glass and wild honey,with a gentle edging of the blue for the sky. The stamp was one I had in my stash stamped with black archival ink,and I coloured in the stripes and spots with red gelly pens so they have a lovely glaze.
Hope you enjoy it!
I wish you all a happy and creative week!
