I've been checking my mailbox with great anticipation this week. Susan (One4Joy) and I swapped elements for a "Creative Swap Challenge" using this week's Sketch Challenge. I was in craft heaven when I opened her envelope! I abandoned my gardening and went straight to the craft room to play.
The gorgeous mixed media bg and striking shell took me straight to the seashore. I had added inspiration from this week's Inspiration challenge. The vivid turquoise and netting these lights caught my eye. Added to this week's WTUI It's a White Out challenge, since Susan stamped with white ink.
I love Susan's bg, so I flipped the sketch to highlight the gorgeous colors and pattern. I tore a strip off the bottom to mimic a wave, mounted on a teal panel and wrapped with a piece of produce bag. Adhered the panels to a white card base. I tucked a sentiment tag and seashell into the netting and finished it off with some sea glass.

Wowsers! So much creativity going on here and doing this swap challenge thing is amazing to me. You even have beach glass on here!
Adding the netting is perfect!

What a wonderful coalition of elements, Miss Carla! That lovely RAK background from Susan gave you great inspiration, along with some challenge requirements! Love the seashell and the sentiment entwined in the white netting, along with the sea glass threesome. Such a STRIKING card!
