I stamped the image from Stamps Happen on WW then coloured her with pencils and baby oil . Clear Embossed it , then I sponged the sky with Baja Breeze and Soft Sky. I used the retired SU punch to make the corners on ( close to )marina mist CS and added the image. I Sanded the card base of the (close to )Marina Mist . I added the DP , cant remember the name of it ( you know the king that has the leaves embeded in it ). Then added the image panel . I attached the pearls down the 2 sides.Then added the shells, starfish and the fern leaves from MS some green and some white coloured with the Blush Blossom markes in places. added the extra pearls . Thank you for looking and have a Great night !...Sherrylynn

Whoa, Sherrylynn, what an exquisite card you've crafted for this challenge. It's definitely all about the outdoors! There's another canadian stamper that really really loves this image too: marilynprestonn (peggy). I hope she sees this because she'll be all over it especially with those beautiful rows of pearls. I love the design; it's perfect with your blue and image.
Adding the beautiful embellishmnets really adds wonderful texture too. Kudos.

Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful card. I'd been searching for an idea for my granddaughter's 21st birthday. When I saw this I knew the searching was over. The card was finished this evening and I know Elizabeth will love it.. The changes I made were minor. I still like yours better (there's never anything like an original!) but made do, and I've never been able to assemble lovely embellishments even when copying. I finished the inside, too, with the blue base cardstock sanded and the message framed as on front. Again, thanks for the CASE.

Oh, I can totally see why this is one of your personal favourites. The mixture of shells and foliage and the pearl rope twining around them is absolutely gorgeous.
