Scrapy Land Challenge #95 ~ Anything Goes

This is my second post of the day...for the DLART August Linky post, click HERE.

Hello, everyone and happy August!! How did that happen?? This year has flown by!! It's time for a new challenge at Scrapy Land and the theme is Anything Goes Using a Brand of Die Scrapy Land Carries...there are over 55 to choose from. If you play along, you could be one of two winners of a $10 gift certificate to shop at Scrapy Land. Also...be sure to check out the exciting news at the end of this post :)

My fascination with Karen Burniston Dies continues :) This time, it's the Karen Burniston Spinner Square Pop-Up.

To decorate the front of the nautical-themed beachy card, I used Karen Burniston Tropical Scene for the waves, sandy hill with the palm trees, seashells and sun. The large palm tree is a Yvonne Creations Palm Tree die.

The grass is a combination of Frantic Stamper Shoreline Grass and Impression Obsession Small Grass dies. The shore birds are Impression Obsession Shore Birds.

The clouds are Memory Box Stitched Cloud Trio dies and they were covered with Sparkle N Sprinkle Super Thick White Embossing Powder. Isn't the texture fabulous??!! When you open the card, the beautiful mermaid appears...

There she is :) To decorate the inside of the card, I used Die-Versions Whispers Lighthouse, Impression Obsession Mini Nautical Set and Frantic Stamper Stitched Photo Cards dies.

The sentiment is a Impression Obsession You're Mermazing die. The beautiful Karen Burniston Princess and Mermaid die is resting on a Taylored Expressions Surfboard die.

I'm entering this  in the following challenges:

1) Word Art Wednesday ~ Anything Goes

He loves lighthouses and the ocean...so do I!! So this was fun to make :) The papers are from Heartfelt Creations.
