I have had a productive night with cards and have wanted to make this one for days - it is for two Challenges - Crafty Creations Challenge which requires sand and sea on their card and the Creative Inspirations Challenge which is a colour challenge using brown and blue - not hard to do....who doesn't love this colour combo - it is a favourite of mine!!!I have used two retired SU sets here, chalking them both and layering them on CS...the Set Sail one is on embossed CS, D'vine Swirls which I have lightly inked with Whisper White, to give the effect of swirling waves. The other image I have popped up on 3D foam dots, but it is not that distinct in the photo! I have added paper piercing and twine.
Funny isn't it how photos can either make a card look great OR not do it justice - I am thinking this card looks better IRL - maybe a photo taken in daylight will show it up better - if that is the case I will update the photo tomorrow!!!
Thank you for stopping in, please make sure you leave me a comment so I know you have called - and I would love you to come back - wouldn't it be great if we could have a coffee....speaking of coffee...I just might have one....I will be good for a few more hours yet!! LOL!!
Linda I love this card!!! I love the beachy feel you achieved and the divine swirls is the perfect CB EF for this... love your coloring and the twine really was the perfect embellishment for this scene! Gorgeous! Glad you got to a fun one after all the humorous ones were starting to not be so funny! LOL!
