seashell

 hello there stampers!

I have a lovely card for you today that I made for a friend. The inspiration was the current challenge at CAS colours and sketches #432

In Melbourne here, we're coming to the end of winter and a little dose of summer would be most welcome! A little memory of the beach and collecting seashells proved to be too enticing to pass up.


I started by using watered distress oxide inks and smooshing the colours over a couple of white card panels. Once dry, I stamped the shells over the interesting coloured spots of one card, and used the other card as the background panel. The stamped images were fussy cut and glued to the white base. The inchies fit perfectly on the card! The sentiment was glued to a pool party card strip to match the seaside colours.

Thanks for stopping by!

ingredients:

stamps: darkroom door seaside inchies

inks: distress oxide scattered straw, tumbled glass, peacock feathers, memento tuxedo black

  1. Rachel I love the watery aqua tones of your little shell squares. Each one has so much detail whilst at the same time your card is beautifully clean and simple. A lovely sentiment too. Thanks for sharing with us over at CAS Colours & Sketches this week!
