At the Beach

Hi and welcome to Freshly Made Sketch Challenge Day!  Wasn't last week's challenge amazing!  So many beautiful entries - we were thrilled with the response.  This week, Narelle is our sketch hostess and she has got a couple of layers for us (surprise! surprise!) :)

I took a couple of liberties with the sketch but I think you can still see it in my card:

The horizontal element is the horizon and the vertical element is the palm tree.  The circle element is the shaker.

I just adored the Penguins in Paradise set as soon as it was released and am so glad I now have it.  This penguin is just too cute!  I cut and colored him, along with the palm tree before setting them aside to work on the card base.  

I first cut the circle so I knew where I wanted my sea and sand to meet.  I then carefully sponged on both the card base and the top panel so they lined up.  I used white and silver flat sequins as well as some clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter in my shaker.  After making the shaker component, I put everything together. The glitter has given the acetate a frosted look which is really pretty.

Thanks for visiting.  As always, the design team have some wonderful inspiration for you, so be sure to check them out.
