Beach Box

The Mod Squad Challenge this week is to create a pop- up card. http://modsquadchallenge.blogspot.com/  This comes at a good time because I have several birthday cards to make and I love pop-ups because they are so appreciated.  My niece loves the beach so I made this card in a box for her birthday.  I used sunny colors because that is her personality.  She is so full of energy and so fun to be around... but when she leaves you feel like you were in a tornado.... in a good way, of course.  Most of the dies are from IO and I wrote a note for her on the back.  I made the sand castles out of sand paper and used some flower soft in the sand colors to give it more texture.
