Hi! I did find some time on this rainy, lazy Sunday to sit at my craft desk. I had a masculine birthday card to make and we all know how much I love that! lol They are always such a challenge for me! I knew the recipient has a boat so I thought I'd go the coastal route for his card. I colored up Beach Path from Shelly's Images. Then I added some glossy accents to the path and covered it with Flower Soft in Sand. I used a Martha Stewart border punch on the mat and then mounted the whole thing on top of a piece of burlap. The seashell paper is from K&Company. The only other embellishments I added were a real seashell (Don't tell Kayne; I "borrowed" it from his collection!) and more Martha Stewart punches (branch, sand dollar, starfish). The sentiment is from a Stampin' Up set called Occasional Quotes and is cut with a Spellbinders Labels Twenty-One die.
I am off to work on my next project which happens to be the next Simply B Stamps 13 Day of Halloween challenge. The deadline is tomorrow so I'll see you then... Thanks for stopping in and have a lovely evening!

Such a lovely scene card beautifully done thanks so much for joining us over at Robyn's Fetish Challenge Blog ~ Denise DT ~
This is just the card to give such an uplift on a grey Monday morning in Autumn Regan, so I would imagine that the birthday boy will love having your sea-scene indoors. I love all your beach themed embellishments and the burlap behind your image...all of which complement your coastal scheme so beautifully. Good luck in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx (OSAAT Team)

Hi Regan - this card is so delicious! It reminds me of holidays I have been on in really far away places. The colours are just right, I can almost smell the see just looking at it. I totally love it.
Thank you so much for entering it into the OSAAT challenge this week, I hope we see more of your creations soon.
Hugs to you Sue Pxxx DT member
