The sketch threw me a little with the little tag element but I think it worked out nicely on my card.
I decided to use Inspired by the Beach from My Favorite Things. I stamped the image with Brilliance Graphite Black onto Kraft card stock and added the sentiment below. The patterned papers are from the My Mind's Eye Portobello Road collection. I used the Traditional Tags STAX Die-namics to cut out the tag element, layered it with Hot Fudge card stock, then looped some Flax Twine through the hole.
I wrapped some hemp twine around the entire card and added a shell charm which I cut out using the Sea Charms Die-namics. I inked the edges of all the layers with antique linen distress inks.
I hope you'll play along with this week's sketch and link your creation on Karen's blog. Now it's time to go see what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Stampers created.
