Heading for the beach

Bon voyage cards are a rare treat. Usually you only hear people going abroad too late or the trip is too short or "ordinary" to merit a card (and chiefly because they are not part of the culture here). 2 weeks in Venezuela, however, felt like it would need a card to wish nice journey plus be a perfect excuse for crafting.

I tore a strip of shell-patterned vellum with ruler for the spine-side and free hand on the other and attached it with glue roller onto a white card blank. I chalked the other half of the card front with blue to give it some semblance of water (could have done better job, or it might just be the photo). I fixed the cardstock photo stickers onto white card and cut the border with deckle scissors. I fixed the stickers onto the card and attached shell and sea star embellishments on the corners.
