I've been sitting here in the heat wishing I was at the beach, so this Treasured Friend image from Our Craft Lounge was the perfect one to pull out today for the OCLDT22 sketch challenge. This is also for the Embellish Magazine ric rac color challenge.
Here's what the sketch looks like:
And here's the Embellish magazine challenge:

What great colors, huh? Just perfect for a little beach scene! So put all this together and this is what I came up with:

I didn't have any orange ric rac or even one of the new ric rac dies, so I made my own by tracing some red ric rac onto pumpkin pie cardstock and cutting it out.
Gee (sigh), now I really want to be at the beach!
Thanks for visiting with me today! I hope you're enjoying your weekend!
- Stamps: Treasured Friend (Our Craft Lounge)
- Paper: kraft (PTI), taken with teal, pumpkin pie, brown textured, On the Boardwalk (Graphic 45)
- Ink: Memento rich cocoa, Ranger Distress brushed corduroy
- Other: Prismacolor pencils, gamsol & blending stumps, emery board, corner rounder punch, threading water border punch (Fiskars), sponge dauber, sewing machine, twine & button, foam tape
Oh my gosh, this is seriously awesome! I love the orange ric rac with the hemp twine bow, and what FANTASTIC colors and coloring!

Hi Broni, this is such a sweet card with wonderful message. Thanks for leaving such a nice comment on my post. I am not sure whether I ve been to their nursery, but next time would surely drop by them for my gardening needs :)
Hugs, Neeti
