This week we are sponsored by the fabulous Joanna Sheen
who is offering one lucky winner
a £10 voucher to spend in their online store!
Thank you Joanna
and our challenge this week is:
#172 - Colors of your Country's Flag
or Sketch
or Both
I flipped the sketch and also loosely followed the theme with my card. The image is The Crafty Pad - Beach Hut and the papers are NitWit Collections - Tour London and Aye Aye Captain. I used my Spellbinders Nautical Frame and Accents border die to create the wave border at the bottom using the same Core'dinations Whitewash that I have used throughout the card. I made my own bunting and the buttons and raffia are from my stash. The letters have been in by stash for as long as I have been card making so it felt really good to use them at last.
I have distressed the edges of the card stock, sanded the border and kept the colours muted to try and create a shabby, seaside feel.
The inside of my card has also been decorated:
