Life's Better on the Beach

Probably not at the moment as it is a cool evening! 



I am entering this card into the following challenges:

My choice of papers and embellishments was partly derived from the beach itself.  The lace is a combination of wave and sand colour.  The papers were chosen to be representative of waves and grains of sand.  You can tell I have been looking at too many inspiration photos lately can't you!

Both papers are from paper pads by MME.  The lace is fairly old as it is some my mother had stashed away in a box - may well have even been from my Nana as she used to hoard lace!  When she passed away, my Mum kept most of it and now I am starting to use some of it.  The image is from Delightful Inspirations and is called Beach Bucket.  The sentiment was also part of the same set.  I matted the image using sand coloured cardstock and edged the sentiment with copic E11 which is a nice sand colour (even though it is actually called "Barely Beige")!!  I am not sure of all the copic colours that I used on the image but it does include E11, G02, G000 and a couple of others.
