I've been checking my mailbox with great anticipation this week. Susan (One4Joy) and I swapped elements for a "Creative Swap Challenge" using this week's Sketch Challenge. I was in craft heaven when I opened her envelope! I abandoned my gardening and went straight to the craft room to play.
The gorgeous mixed media bg and striking shell took me straight to the seashore. I had added inspiration from this week's Inspiration challenge. The vivid turquoise and netting these lights caught my eye. Added to this week's WTUI It's a White Out challenge, since Susan stamped with white ink.
I love Susan's bg, so I flipped the sketch to highlight the gorgeous colors and pattern. I tore a strip off the bottom to mimic a wave, mounted on a teal panel and wrapped with a piece of produce bag. Adhered the panels to a white card base. I tucked a sentiment tag and seashell into the netting and finished it off with some sea glass.

Ooh, love this seashell card. That background from Susan is fabulous and I really like the netting you added. Your wave looks fabulous. Awesome creation, Carla.

Susan sends great treasures. Gorgeous colours in the background and I really like the way your mesh ribbon picks up on the stamped net above. And sea glass, that's always lovely!
