Squigglefly Challenge

Here's a fun card I made for this week's Squigglefly Challenge.  This cute image is from artist Fawn Palmer and is called Birthday Mermaid.  This card however isn't for a birthday, it's just a celebration card.  You can see the little flags on there, made out of toothpicks "Life is Sweet" and "Eat Cake"; 
This week's challenge at Squigglefly is called Square Peg in a round hole, the goal is to think outside the box and take something new or different and add it to your card.  In my case, I am using some shells, sand (right from outside) and some toothpick embellishments.  Check out the Squigglefly Challenge Blog for other examples and suggestions.

Project Materials:  Cardstock(Bazzill, HobbyLobby, Neenah, DCWV);  Digi-Stamp(Squigglefly);  Texas (Shells, Sand);  Toothpicks(Basic Grey);  DieCut (Spellbinders Nestabilities);  Adhesives (Pop dots, Glue All, Glue Dots, Glue Pen);  Color (Copic Markers);

Holley, what a great idea! Those shells look like the are half buried in the sand! Love the effect you have created for the water and sand. Great inspiration!

Now that is thinking outside the box alright. I would have never thought to do a beach card and use real sand. Those toothpick flags are great too!
