Fun in the sun

The Simon Stays Stamp Monday Challenge theme is : nautical/by the sea.

For my card I used three Simon Says Stamp sets (happy days for the kites,my sun shine for the sentiment, baby party animals for the animals).

I used My favorite things hybrid black ink to stamp everything on 300grams watercolor paper from Schut and I used Distress inks to watercolor the card.
I kept the "sea" as plain as possible, but with some  shades so it's not all flat, but still just the background.
And I wanted the critters to by playing with their kites on the sand, hey they could be having a kite battle ;-)

As my panel of watercolor is cut from a bigger sheet it's always a little smaller than the card, so I filled up the gap with washitape that has the same kind of colors as the panel.
Mounted it with foamtape onto the cardbase.
