My younger son and his wonderful lady are celebrating their 4th wedding anniversary. They love the beach. This card is for them.
Here is the inside of the card:
I recently stumbled across this blog: Mixed Media World.
And this month's themes is "Anything Goes" Mixed Media World June Challenge
I'm not sure, but I think this card may qualify as mixed media. For the "sand" I used Viva art stone product in a color called sand gold. I've had it for a very long time (at least 2-3 years,) and thankfully it was still workable. I scored the Internet, but can't seem to find it any more. I then used the bottom of a crochet hook to hand draw the letters in the sand.
The "wavy water" was created using vellum and a wave stencil. I embossed with some embossing enamel from Stampendous (that I also can't find on the web any more)
I am also entering this into the following challenges
Double D ANYTHING WEDDING
While I made this for an anniversary, it could certainly be used as a wedding card.
Little Red Wagon Challenge #400 - Three of a Kind
It was a gorgeous spring weekend and my hubby wanted to go out for a drive to the beach -- Fire Island to be exact. So of course I said YES! He was a bit suspicious when I said we needed to bring a small container. But he knows this by now -- I love collecting rocks, shells, and other terrific beach finds. But this day I was on a mission -- finding shells small enough for card-making. It was much harder than I thought it would be -- they had to be small and complete. Three of them made their way to this card. :)
Try it on Tuesday : Letters or Numbers or Both -
Marker Pop - # 123 Summer Fun it is (and it was fun creating it too!)
And Marker Pop - # 122 Use at least 3 colors - I have the blue-turquoise, and the browns, and the light beige shells .
As always, thanks so much for stopping by to take a look. I hope you are enjoying your summer!
