Happy Friday, all! Time for a new As You See It theme challenge and it's one I just love! Here we go:
I used the sketch from Sunday Stamps for my card:
I pulled out an older Close to My Heart stamp set, did some heat embossing and coloring, and here we go:
I stamped the images with Pecan Pie ink and before taking them out of the Stamparatus, I inked them again with Versamark and heat-embossed them with clear embossing powder. Then I watercolored them with reinkers and fussy-cut them out. I embossed a piece of Everyday Happiness DSP with a rope embossing folder, then layered all the shells on top, along with a piece of burlap ribbon and a sweet sentiment from an older Crafty Secrets set:
Another couple of CS sentiments went on the inside:
I just love beachy things, so creating this was a lot of fun! I hope you'll play along with our beachy-shell themed challenge this week at As You See It as well! Thanks for visiting today! Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Wow! LeAnne, this is a masterpiece! Those seashells received extra special treatment with stamping, embossing and watercolouring, and they look fantastic! The background, embossed with the rope embossing folder, is spectacular, perfect for the shells, and I love that sentiment!
ReplyDeleteYou alway make the prettiest sea shell cards, LeAnne!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE these colorful seashells, LeAnne! The embossed net is perfect in the background!
ReplyDeleteWell, your sentiment is spot on! The embossing adds an extra touch of luxury to the already lovely shells. Great way to show off the theme, I think! :-)

ReplyDeleteThat's just fantastic LeAnne - I love that collection of colourful shells! Exactly the sort of haul my sons would have hoped for on the beach when they were younger!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful LeAnne - as soon as I saw it I wished I'd gone less pink! Your rainbow of shells is so pretty and I love the embossed detail in the background and all topped up with such a great sentiment too. I just love this card!
