If you saw the tiara I made recently - well it was for my friends wedding, which is taking place today in the Caribbean. I made them a little card to take with them - appropriately themed for a beach wedding.
I cut the flip flops using the PTI die set from card scraps and felt scraps for the little hearts. I used a scrap of white card to create the beach using distress inks with a blending tool and some pearlised water to hint at waves (it took 3 attempts to get a beach I liked!) I used puff white paint to create the foam layer on the beach and some smooch ink in green to get some of that transparency you see in the sea foam (I tried to channel Bob Ross but failed!) The sentiment is PTI love and marriage set and I've no idea which set I got the numbers from sorry - it's been a few weeks since I made this card.
I'm going to enter into Pixie's Sunday Snippets as apart from the base card, the rest is all from my scraps box http://pixiescraftyworkshop.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/pixies-crafty-snippets-challenge-31.html
I'm also going to enter it into this week's Cupcake Craft challenge which is all about the great outdoors - well I'm sure an outdoor wedding counts! http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/cupcake-203-great-outdoors.html
