Hello and happy weekend to you! Any beach plans in your weekend agenda? That's the challenge theme this week at Our Creative Corner. Isn't this an idyllic scene? Even though I live in Miami, I am not a beachgoer. My kids are and I am glad that they do take advantage of our wonderful beaches in the area. I'm more of a pool person myself and do intend to log some pool hours this weekend if the weather cooperates.
Here's my take on the beach challenge. I really love the bright tropical colors in the DP I found to use (Lost at Sea by Designer Digitals). The stamp used is from the By the Sea set by JustRite Stampers and was colored with Copics. The sentiment was computer generated. All edges were sponged with Creamy Caramel and the stitching was done by hand again (since my sewing machine is in the repair shop!). The CS is Tempting Turquoise and Barely Banana from SU and the shells were cut with a Cuttlebug Die. Spellbinders Ovals and the Labels Four dies were also used.
I hope you will stop by Our Creative Corner and also the blogs of the rest of the team. Lots of yummy eye candy to see this week!
Thanks so much for dropping by today. I wish you a wonderful weekend!

Linda this is GORGEOUS! LOVE the seashells along the side, just beautiful!
I just love your hand stitching, it has such a nice touch, but I'm sure you're hoping your machine is back soon! This card is beautiful and perfect for a retirement, great idea!
Linda, this is just wonderful! I love your plaid and the colors are great together. I use Designer Digitals also. Love the shells! It's all wonderful!
Has that wonderful beach feel!
Love the texture you've given to shells! It's a lovely and serene image, such a gorgeous colouring too!!
Hand stitching looks gorgeous but I know how long it takes!!!

This is the perfect beachy card - you are so great with your attention to detail and your work is always amazing. Love the plaid DP and the great colors!
Such a gorgeous card! I am most definitely a beach person, but it's never warm enough to use our beaches here in the Pacific NorthWest, so the only time I do hang out on the beach is when we travel. Your card makes me think of happy vacation days :-) Love those die cuts too! Have a great Sunday.
Another beauty, sorry to hear about the machine, I guess you just keep it smokin'. Love these colors.
Fabulous card love the scene you have matched the colours perfectly. Hope you got your pool time thought the weather in Miami always co-operated. Thank you for joining us at LTD this week, Hilda will be popping round later in the week to see what everyone has done. xx Zoe
