I used one of Nina's Lovely labels and a Labels One die for the square part of the sketch, thinking this crosshatch on her label paired with the sea theme looked like netting. Kraft starfish and white sand dollar are colored, accented with glitter and popped up, along with another sand dollar from the border popped up like a button over the stitched navy ribbon. I stamped the speckle image along the bottom to create a textured sandy look.
Here is the card opened with the greeting, I added more glitter and just a few warm gray shadows to the images. Thank you Card Patterns for this fun sketch! Maybe you can play along to, just add your creation to the linky on their blog!
Have a wonderful weekend! This one will be one of the busiest for us in a while, but jam packed with fun, tell you about it soon!

Wonderful card! I love the way the shells are just "peaking" out from the inside panel. Lovely. And of course, it's beachy/shells, so naturally I love it.
