Just a quick card for today's Clean and Simple Challenge, CAS75, to use dry embossing. I punched a flower from heavy cardstock, overlaid it with vellum, and used an embossing stylus to trace around it to make my dry-embossed flower border.
I also used some cheap sandpaper (from our Dollar Tree) to round out my beach scene. This is also the Cute Card Thursday challenge, School's Out.

Nice beach scene, Emzi....where I plan to be next week. Love your pretty embossed flowers. Been a while since I used a stylus for embossing...need to try it again.

That sand looks perfect and your embossing on the bottom is just right. This is really creative. Have you ever surfed? I always wanted to but never got the chance and I love watching others do it.
