This is for the ways to use it challenge today....it gave me such a hard time and after I had the image ready and the design in my head...I found out that Summer by the Sea isnt retiring--Seaside Sketches is....I always get them mixed up...
Oh well...I used Cool Carribean which is retiring so I guess this is still legal!!!
The image is suspended by seed beads..I wanted to do something like this ever since seeing a card by Jacksonbelle a few weeks ago--she had seed beads running down in the window--check out her gallery--awesome stuff! I liked the idea of using beads and so I thought I would try to suspend an image using beads. Crazy idea...difficult to do right!
Anyhoo--I found out it was no easy feat to do this--guess I should have asked her for advice!!!
The little boy is colored with prismas...he is cut out and on microdots...the sandcastle is covered in real sand. The waves are colored and then hightlighted with white ep.
The top of the card is created with the word window punch...and I used the blue gingham ribbon around the border...
Thanks for looking....sorry about this description..I have my 2 year old on my lap!!! Just glad to get it done!!!

I don't know how I missed this the first time around but I sure am glad that you posted it on the 'my favorite' thread. This is just incredible. Into my favs it goes. Even if I can't duplicate the technique I can still enjoy looking at it!

Into my favs! This is like those picture frames where the pic is suspended in the glass - open all around. What a lovely image and the depth is fantastic. I love the gingham frame! Beautiful!
