Seaside

This weeks CMLI sketchie was set by Kathy and the theme was 'I do like to be beside the seaside'. I made this card last night for the challenge. I was going for the CAS look but I know this one has NOT turned out very good (although it is a bit better in real life than it is in the photo). For the purpose of not being a perfectionist, I am posting this card anyway- I guess it can serve as a reminder to myself of what a bad card is so that I can be happier with other cards in the future without spending hours tweaking little bits on them until they are 'just so'.I will enter the card into this weeks I love Promarkers challenge (mens cards) and CES (inspired by a song- 'I do like to be beside the seaside').

    Hi Louise. Don't be so hard on yourself. It is a great idea - I love the port hole above such a fab lower border. Cute card. Thanks for joining us at I ♥ Promarkers.
