This card is for our current Queen (QFTD133) Denise (aka resqbarbie). Denise - loved your gallery!! After a long visit I finally decided on this amazing beauty: {Denise’s GORGEOUS CAS card}
I love the original so much, it's so beautiful, but I had trouble with keeping it quite as CAS as Denise... Sooooo, I did keep the same layout and great design, just added an extra layer around the punched area.
This card is for one of my Nephew's in NJ - he loves the beach and even though we're back to school and into Fall I thought he'd like a little reminder of the summer LOL. The Crab was completely colored using various Ranger Stickles, the background was masked and sponged with three shades of blue, and the sand is a product made from wood, used for creating the look of SAND!!! This is my first time using it and I think it does kinda look like sand...???...
Denise - this was a fun card design, thanks for sharing your creations, and CONGRATS on your royalty status. Enjoy your week!
Hugs Everyone,
Audrey

Audrey, this is adorable, and your nephew is going to love it. The depth you achieved in your coloring is amazing. This could fit today's TLC challenge too. BTW, we are neighbors in the QFTD gallery :)

Audzi, this is cute as can be. That little sparkly crab is precious and I know your newphew will love it. BTW, is that the sand stuff we bought at the craft show last year? I can't remember if I've used it yet or not. It turned out great. Love that coool layout! See you Saturday.
