Hello there!
This is a card I made for my sweet niece's bridal shower. She lives along the Gulf Coast in Florida, and I was unable to attend the shower (but we did go to the wedding!). Her wedding theme was all about the beach. So, I made something very reminiscent of the shore.
A tumble of shells, and a "sandy" background, a sprinkling of sequins....
and a simple tag tied on with hemp cord.
There's even a "wave", made with Pool Party cardstock and a Memory Box die called Elegant Scrollwork (I use that one a lot).
I'm pleased as punch (er, or a die cut!) with the way this turned out. :-)
