Today I have a card that is the combination of three great challenges. Festive Friday #0141 is a celebration of National Beach Day, which is August 30. They put together an inspiration list of great elements to pull together for a card. The elements I used are pearls, sand, shells and sea.
Inspired By Neutrals #252 is all about neutral colors. For my beach card, I used Crumb Cake for the card base and for most of the card front- the sand, the grasses and the shells.
As You See It Challenge #306 -At the Beach, asks what do you like to do at the beach. My favorite thing is just to relax and watch and listen to the water and everything that goes on. The beach we hang out on is on Puget Sound.

Beautiful, Suzy! Love the layering design - The offset so you can stamp on the left edge is brilliant - so sophisticated! Thanks so much for playing at As You See It!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Suzy! I love the water color wash, speckles and beautiful lay out. Thanks for joining us at Festive Friday Challenge. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. What a great card to show the peacefulness of a deserted beach. Thanks for playing along in the Festive Friday Challenge.
ReplyDeleteSuzy, your beach scene is so serene and perfect for the challenge. The touch of stamping on your kraft base adds wonderful texture, too. So glad you shared this beauty with us at Festive Friday this week. hugs

Suzy this is so calm and serene - I love the background stamping along the edge of the kraft layer too. Thanks for playing with us over at As You See It and Festive Friday!
ReplyDeleteFantastic card, Suzy! I love the background stamping along the edge of the card - it just leads the eye in beautifully to that relaxing beach scene. Thanks for playing along with us at As You See It.
ReplyDeleteSuzy, what I love about your card, besides the colours and serenity, is that the shells and grass are perfectly in scale with each other and your beach scene looks so natural.
