If you know me at all you know I love beaches, shells, palm trees, nautical, etc. The colors and beachy feel of the Inspired By #IB395 had my attention as soon as I saw the photo! So here is my shells and sea card for their challenge.
The photo reminds me of birthday cookies my very talented neighbor made me a couple of years ago...soft almond flavored beauties!
What I used for my card:
- Hero Arts Sophisticated Shells die set
- Sizzix Vacation Words Block dies
- MFT Sand and Surf dies
- Vellum
- Card stock scraps
- Glue dots
I had fun making the two-layered shells in colors from the challenge photo. Next, I die cut aqua card stock with a wave die arranged at different angles on my card stock so that no two waves were the same shape or width. I attached the waves to the darker aqua panel, then scattered the shells around. I got the idea to put the sentiment (cut out of gold card stock) on vellum to sit over the water and shells. And that's it!
Thanks for visiting and hope your summer is relaxing!
