This week, the Stampin' B's hostess is Vicky Gould and she wants us to do a color challenge-brown, black, and ivory. So glad to see Vicky back on the gallery after an absence while she was moving to a new area.
I used a Mark's Finest Paper image called Sand, Surf, Relax. I just love it and it is great for masculine cards or really just for anyone.
For my netting, I dyed a bag from Finch food. The pretty shells are from the MFP set.

I can't believe I didn't catch the finch seed bag on this one when I visited your blog. Benzalina, this is fantastic even though you did use that PATP that I love and you won't send me. Your array of shells and the awesome image turned this into a spectacular creation!!!

Benzi-riffic indeed. Tell Pamzi that you're sending the seashell punch to me so she can quit asking. Love your card with all those beachy embellishments.

This is so perfect for the challenge and for this time of year! I just LOVE that little crab punch, and the border looks great with this little boat image! NJ!
