Boardwalk Beauty...

'Boardwalk Beauty' was provided for my use by RSD
and can be found here at Zibbet

I'm goin' a tich weird on ya' -  I wanted something DIFFerent for this RSD image.  Went digging thru my papers and found one sheet of the heavy CS with a linear pattern on it - [can't see it here] - looked like sand to me, a very thin sheet of 12 x 12 scrapbook paper with fish swimming endlessly and the hazy-autumn-burnt- orange with suns(?), flowers(?), fireworks(?) on it.  Then I just had to come up with something to tie it all to my 'Beauty'.  Ripping the edges of the 'sand' and the fishy paper made it look like foam on the waves... so done and done.  Wanted the last sheet to be a fantasy sky & sun - envisioned ribbons coming out in rays (see this version I first came up with which is now on the inside ):

But I liked the loose version better with the 'rays' bursting out like solar flairs.  Somehow represents more heat to me and enhances the 3-D aspect of the design.
Added eyes to some of my fish and real shells to the tide line - and of course my beauty, who should not have stepped off the boardwalk in those heels!
