Happy Wednesday, peeps! The middle of the week already! My niece's birthday is coming up and while she is a dog fanatic, she also loves going to the beach, so I thought I'd use the Fusion sketch and theme challenge to make a card for her:
I used both the sketch and the inspiration photo, using stamps and elements from Friends are Like Seashells, Biggest Wish and the A Little Smile kit from SU:
I embossed a Basic White card with the Seashells EF, then added some papers from Kaisercraft along with a embossed panel of Seaside Spray:
I stamped and embossed the sentiment in Craft White ink and embossing powder to begin. I heat embossed and diecut a starfish from the Seaside Seashells dies; the sparkly starfish is from the kit, and the smaller shells are diecuts from Impression Obsession.
I stamped the small sand dollar from the kit in Sahara Sand; the fronds are also from the kit. I added some Linen thread behind it to add a beachy touch. And on the inside, I stamped a sentiment from Friends are Like Seashells:
Hope she likes it! Thanks for popping in today!

What a great beach card AND beautiful pic of your family.
Super cute card, LeAnne! I love the colors and all those beautiful seashells! Your niece is sure to love this! Great picture of Dana & her family! The lighthouse stood out to me in the background! Looks like they had a nice vacation! TFS and Happy Wednesday!
As pretty as all your elements are, I'd have a hard time covering one bit of that gorgeous embossing, LeAnne! You did GOOD my friend! Just love that little sand dollar!
