I was in my element as I was making this card. Add lots of texture and some vintage images and I'm happy. This week there were several beach/water challenge themes and a couple challenges calling for texture. I started with a piece of kraft cardstock and embossed it using one of Tim Holtz's texture fades. I then added distress embossing powder to the bottom of the panel to represent sand. I used Tim's Chevron die to die cut the waves. I added distress glitter to the waves like white caps. Texture fades, distress embossing powder, and distress glitter are all texture techniques that Tim Holtz uses to add texture to his art. The beach house and bathing beauties are stamps from Artistic Outpost as is the sentiment.
I will be adding my card to these challenges:

Such a fun card. Love the beach babes surrounded by the textured beach. That song will be in my head today!
Barbara, your card really reminds me of a Victorian Bathing party and the shimmery waves are perfect. Of course, I am not going to get that song out of my head now.... but what a lovely card to celebrate summer.
So glad you joined us at ATCAS this week
