City Crafter - Inspiration Photo

This week's challenge at City Crafter  is to be inspired by the photo below:


For my DT card I wanted to reflect the 'natural' look of the photos by using shells and hessian (burlap) . I used stamps by Indigo Blu, Crafty Individuals and a sentiment from a recent magazine freebie, There's no actual sea showing on my card, but I hope you can imagine it in the distance! 

Come and join in at City Crafter. Please visit us and see the work of the DT and our special Guest Designer, Suchi .

I'd like to enter:

Hi Marina - I can imagine the sea in the distance, just over those sand dunes in your image! I love your card, and all the textures are perfect for a sea-sidey card. Thanks for joining in with this week's challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.
