If Love was.......

To make these I started with a printed background on card stock, whether gelli printed, water colored or printed. Layers come next with different papers, both solids and printed for dimension. Next comes the main image, the female swimmers were from Sweet Summer Days  sheet and the crab was from Fish Camp sheet both from the Gecko Galz Etsy shop.. Embellishments come next, 3d beach balls, stickers, netting, shells, and ribbon trim. The final piece is always the sentiment, stamped or printed.
