Happy anniversary to dear friends

They love going to the Jersey shore to celebrate so this card is perfect for the occasion.

The image was stamped in Jet Black archival ink onto watercolor cardstock and colored with distress markers.  I used a corner round punch to change up my normal rectangular look of layers.  Blue (Adirondack) core'dinations cardstock was run through the waves embossing folder and sanded lightly before being adhered to a white A2 card.

I cut up strips of sandpaper to add to the beachy feel...you gotta have sand if you're at the shore!

From peach Bazzill cardstock I die cut 'together'.  The green sprigs are leftover punches from a previous project.  The crab was stamped onto watercolor cardstock in JBAI and also colored with distress markers.

I don't know why this post showed up early as it was marked for 8/16.  Oh well, guess I should be happy that it showed up at all given the computer issues and power outages we've been having.
