Mini Sandcastle Card

I created this Mini Sandcastle Card
with several challenges in mind.

Not made many a mini card in my time.
Try saying that several times. Heehee.

Thought about using distress ink on edges,
sandpaper or tearing edges of the paper but
then that would have not been clean or simple
for me or for one of the challenges.


















Entering this into the following challenges:

1. CAS-Friday - my card is 4" x 4"

CFC20



CFC20: Create a Clean And Simple Mini Card no larger than 4 x 4
and tell us the final measurement of your project.


2.

  2. Thanks. The Sand Photo is a die cut from Spellbinders Nestabilities and was not sure when I bought it what I would use it for since it had word 'Inverted' and had the spiky look. The Sandcastle is stamped & cut out with my wonderful Tim Holtz scissors.
