Beach Love

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)

This card was inspired by this card I received from my husband for Mother's Day.  I loved the photo, and thought . . . "I could do that!"

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.  :) 

Words 2 Craft by    Keep Love in Your Heart - I think the cards speaks for itself :)
