I was really inspired by this weeks Tuesday Trigger photo. My family is leaving for our annual trip to the Ocean in a couple of days so the timing was perfect! Go check it out, you still have time to play along. Here's the photo,

I really love sea shells so when Stampin Up ! released these sea shell stamps a couple years ago I had to have them.

All my supplies have again come from Stampin Up! I used Crumb Cake, Sage Shadow and Vanilla paper. I used my ink roller on the background card stock to look like sand. The shells are stamped with Crumb Cake ink on Crumb Cake paper then I used my pastels in coral and blue to give the shells dimension. I used my wave crimper on the Sage Shadow paper then brushed Sage Shadow ink on the raised paper to look like waves. I cut out a tag then distressed it with Crumb Cake ink and added a satin bow. I'd love to hear what you think.
This is FABULOUS!!! I love the way you created the 'waves' and the 'sand'! That tag is a really fun addition- love how distressed it is- and the satin ribbon brings a very elegant touch! :D
ReplyDeleteI saw your entry for the Tuesday Trigger on the Moxie Fab Blog. It's gorgeous. I started card making in October 2008 ; I am also a newbie :)
