This weeks challenge was to do a joke-themed card for a 13 year old young man facing his 17th surgery. Hop on over to MMTPT155 ~ THAT'S MY CHESTER! THE JESTER TESTER! by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers
to play along.
I am an inherently goofy pun-loving nerd, so I ran the joke by my 13 year old twins for their approval. I guess the card got a little out of hand, but under the tide hides a sea turtle and a couple of seahorses. The sea is turquoise vellum, CB embossed and heat embossed along the edge. The sand is FS and a couple of colors of MS glitter. The punches are all MS and sponged. This is a CASE of Sallie aka hobbydujour: *CC329 Beach Stroll by hobbydujour at Splitcoaststampers
The sponged scallop shell (with PC generated riddle) opens to reveal a pearl and the riddle's answer "to get to the Shell station!" PT - 7
Thank you so much for looking and have a peaceful day.

Oh, I love the way you created the sea by embossing it and then adding that surf to the edge. Those sand dollars look great too. I always love beach themed cards - bet Jake will love this and your pearl of a joke.
