I started by creating this fun beach scene from the Formal Occasion cartridge. This cart has some great backdrops meant to be for a dance theme.
I wanted my sandy beach to have a little more definition so I added some ink to it using a simple coloring tool and some ink.
My sunbather was from a different cartridge - Pack Your Bags. I used Design Space to make sure the scale of my images was correct before cutting everything. I was super happy with the end results.
