MIX challenge is Just Beachy - to add a bit of texture or sparkle and the F4A challenge is Sand Between My Toes. These challenges work great together. This card grew into itself. I embossed the background left and bottom edges with the crackle ef. Mixed salty ocean and water on acrylic block and sponged to the crackled area. Added another layer of cardstock and embossed with the shell corners ef, which is hard to see in the photo but is under the cheesecloth, and I added sand paste to it and the netting around it. I sponged the tumbled glass on the shells and covered them with the Viva Platinum and added the sand paste around the sides and bottom and attached on foam dots. Sponged tumbled glass around the clouds for the backdrop and attached the clouds with foam dots. Added the grasses done in shabby shutters, the birds sponged with weather wood, sequins and pearls to finish. Thanks for looking...

I love the added texture of the crackle, netting, and mesh! What a fantastic piece this is, Kia!
