Oceans of Love

I have hoarded this card stock long enough...the colors, texture, and glittery details are so pretty in person. I used it for the blue(s), and light and dark greens for the Color Throwdown Challenge #829. I wish you could see all the sparkle on the shells!







I used Papertrey Ink's Summer Shells dies as well as Spellbinder's Seahorse and Sand Dollar die set. I used Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass to shade the shells and "weather" the frame. The card stock is Sea Glass Shell Squares Embossed Glitter Specialty Paper from maybe Joanne Fabrics? My dark green stamped sentiment is from the Flora and Fauna Mermaid Love stamp set. The dark green and blue droplets are Tim Holtz Idea-ology and the shadow box/curio frame is The Greetery.

I assembled the panel and adhered it to an A2 top folding card base. I may display this one in my craft room.

Thanks for stopping,

Carol
