Seaside

In the vintage photo this elegant lady was sitting on a rock at at the beach, but I wanted to give her something more exotic to sit on, so I stamped a lovely shell for her.  The tag background was made from blue patterned paper, and has a border-type stamp near the top.  I found some lacy vintage gold ribbon to put behind her to give the appearance of waves, and gave her a little sparkle on her umbrella.  I think she is dreaming about swimming in the turquoise blue water of the Caribbean (oh no, wait, that is me dreaming about that!).
Thanks for taking a look, and for all of your kind comments from last week.  There are lots of fantastic tags to enjoy this week!

    I love your vintage take on this seaside theme Barb. I love the feminine delicate touches. The pretty shell throne is perfect.
