Let's Shell-abrate!

 Hello and welcome!

I'm still plugging away trying to

use my new (or new to me)

stash of crafty goodies.

(Buying craft supplies and using them are two different things.)

This card combines items from

a bunch of different companies:

The stencil, sand dollar/seahorse dies, and sentiment are all new

items. I masked around the different shells to blend

different inks for different shells. Time consuming, but

I love how it looks! For the seahorse and sand dollars,

I blended the same inks onto the same cardstock, (a beige

color, because it looks like sand! LOL!) I die cut,

then left the die cut pieces in the die to blend in the darker

colors. This reminds me of looking for shells at

my favorite happy place, Topsail Island, NC.

We just came back from a little mini vacation there,

and I'm ready to go back!

Paper Players #749 has a By the Water challenge going on, so

I'm linking up there. My card is based off the current 

sketch at Atlantic Hearts Challenge #641.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day!
