Wish I Was On The Beach...

We've got icicles...
but we went up to Membury for some fast food and there are some seriously impressive icicles at the service station, these are a good 6-8' long.
So I decided to make as warm and sunny a card as I could :).
This week's House Mouse Challenge is "On the Beach". I don't have a huge collection of House Mouse stamps yet, but I did pick this one up late last year and haven't yet inked it up. I used a fun sketch designed by Denise for Stamp Something's Challenge this week, and I added a sentiment that fitted both the House Mouse idea and the theme at Saturday Spotlight - love, without hearts - meaning a card representing love without using hearts anywhere on the card. Great theme!

The image is coloured with Copics and some Glossy Accents on the bottle and the seashells, it's edged with Broken China Distress Ink. The papers are K&K, the sentiment was made with alphabet stamps. Do you feel any warmer looking at my card? I hope so :)

    Wow, these are icicles Anne. I took some photos of the ones on our gutter the other day but they were nothing compared to yours.
    Love the card, I feel much warmer already.
