Well this is a 'Summertime' 'Beach Scene' with Twine - fulfilling 3 challenges. The background was created by smearing distress inks onto an acrylic block, spritzing with water & stamping onto cardstock...trimmed, then stamped foliage & greeting. I used twine to create the frame; & the knotted rope between the fence posts. Hand drawn birds, diecut clouds & foliage. Hammock paper pieced, bear image colored with copics, glossy accents on the glass.

HOW beautiful! Your card has so much detail. I love how you made the blue sky and sand and then framed it all with twine! I really love how you tied the twine in between the fenceposts too. Lovingly made, any friend would be thrilled to receive this!
