We have a wonderful dare this week on the DCM blog courtesy of the lovely Gez - she has set us the challenge of creating a card with a seaside theme.
And well... I was struggling for a few moments with what to do for mine, so I went a bit off-piste and tried a beach-inspired look and feel approach:
Paper: MME, Crate Paper
Chipboard: Crate Paper
Stamps: Just Rite, Technique Tuesday
Stickers: Crate Paper
Dies: Spellbinders, Memory Box, PTI
Pearl: Kaisercraft
Other: String, sewing machine, chalk ink
So there's a bit of a sea-weathered look to the wood, and sewing, and string, and the pennants blowing in the breeze... or at least that's what I saw. ;)
Don't forget to check out the cards from my wonderfully talented fellow teamies!
Love your card Nat! The weathered wood is great inspiration for a boardwalk ;)
Your holiday pics were great btw - thanks for sharing and hope you had a fun birthday celebration, Rx

Thanks both of you. :)
Ruth those pics weren't mine, still haven't plugged my camera in to download all the photos - alas this holiday didn't have many perfect photo ops as places were really busy or there was a lack of willing models to stand by things - everyone got a bit grumpy and tired at times! ;) Who knows what is actually on my camera...
