Beach Bucket Bouquet

I know it's almost Halloween and I should be thinking pumpkins and ghosts and autumn leaves but we just got back from a week on Sanibel Island with some good friends and it was hot and summery so I'm thinking beachy thoughts!  I found the shells and the grassy fibers while beach combing!

Thanks for visiting :)

Itty Bitty Sand Bucket

A friend challenged us with an interesting card sketch this week.  We could either do the square or the round version.  It was a fun one!

I haven't  finished the inside yet, but I used the opposite halves of the circles I used for the front to add some color to the inside.  Pretty cute!

Here's a close up of the cute little sand pail!  It's such a cute little stamp, it's one of the Itty Bittys from Pink Ink Stamps.  They work great for inchies if you are into making those!  I also really like the banner stamp from Taylored Expressions. I used Copic markers to add the shadows so it looks more 3-D!

Here's the card sketch I used.
