I swiped vintage photo distress ink across my vanilla paper. Then I mixed various colors watercolor hues in yellow and used a sponge wedge to drag color over the ink. I stamped the script stamp from By the Tide, then the seahorse. Added a little pink to the seahorse, stamped and embossed the coral. Punched a hole in the tag and threaded onto the twine. Tied a loose knot in the twine, knotted each end and used glue dots to adhere. Threaded one string from the twine through the heart knotted above and below the bead then tied it onto the twine.
This card was inspired by this, http://www.bluefly.com/TOAST-Seahors..._2687457&c3=cj and this, http://www.polyvore.com/rope_trend/set?id=113710292 for the IC430 - Polyvore and LOVEFEST2014H challenges. Thanks for taking a look!

You and I were both inspired by the same wooden phone cases. I guess great minds think alike! But our cards are very different. I love the way you made your own woodgrain.
