Life’s a Beach

August 30, 2012 by Rebecca Wagner 11 Comments

Hey everyone, I’m back to bring you my Design Team project for the month of August over at Trendy Twine.  The theme for the challenge is beach so I thought I would continue on, and get a few more summery cards out there.  My inspiration came from my friend Brigit.  I just adored her card, and couldn’t help making one just, well almost, like it.  I like her button better.  :p  Doesn’t this make you want to stick your toes in the sand or what!

Look at that awesome Trendy Twine in Krazy for Kraft.  One of my personal faves!  I am really surprised I am digging how faded this card is.  Didn’t plan on it coming out like that, but it’s growing on me.

Hope you enjoyed my card, and are getting ready for the weekend.  Happy crafting!

Supplies:
Salt Air by Cosmo Cricket
Krazy for Kraft by Trendy Twine
Just Beachy by SVG Attic
GB8 & GB10 Spectrum Noir markers for sand dots
Wave Paper Crimper by Fiskars (sand)
Silhouette Cameo (cut files & sentiment)
ZIG Millennium pen (sentiment – smeared on purpose)
Compass Rose button poorly made by me using an epoxy dot with clipart I found for free online
