Beachy Anniversary

I needed an anniversary card with a beach theme and the sketch at Reverse Confetti was a perfect fit!

I am also entering my card on CAS on Fridays for their challenge to use a die cut.

I used Distress Oxide inks smeared on a kraft mat, misted and dragged the cardstock through it.  Added some drops of water on the inked backgrounds.  Die cut the RC tag and the reinforcer.  Stamped a very old and unknown fishnet stamp in Memento rich Cocoa across the bottom half of the background and added a piece of washi tape.  Die cut the sand dollar from RC and sponged some ink around the edges and placed the center star back into the main part of the shell, then added some Stickles to the openings.  Die cut some Wheat Confetti Cuts from green vellum and colored them a little darker with a Touch Twin marker and used just the tips around the upper left edge of the sand dollar.  Stamped the sentiment with a navy blue ink and die cut with the matching die.  Before putting it all together, sprayed some shimmer mist on the tag and background.  Tied some raffia onto the top of the tag.

Thanks for stopping by! 

Autumn Thanks

Playing along with Reverse Confetti using their monthly sketch challenge as inspiration.

Using the tag, tag layer, tag topper, squiggly circle, wheat/leaves die, banner die and thanks sentiment all from Reverse Confetti.  Die cut the leaves from some embossed gold cardstock I've had forever and arranged on the circle.  Stamped the diagonal stripes for the background and found a piece of orange gingham scrap and a piece of orange polka dots in my stash.  Tied a piece of twine on the tag, put it all together and layered onto a charcoal brown card base.
