SURF & SAND

When I saw this card design online, I had to have that seashell die set.  The Waffle Flower Seashells are so pretty!  It was fun to put this card together with all the various colors of shells.  I did a soft blue shadow background on each of the postage stamps before I placed the shells.   The stamps are mostly Waffle Flower to add the postage look.  Surf and Sand!

OH SHELL YES!

I die cut all the Waffle Flower Seashells in various colors of card stock.  I ink blended a bit on each of the shells.  I used a watercolor paper and ink blended a light blue line across the card panel.  I splattered the panel and the seashells with gold splatters and also a bit of white splatter.  The seashells are popped up with foam dimensional - I stamped a sentiment.  On one card, I did add teal gems.  

Let's Go!

This was a fun scene to create using a Taylored Expressions die.

I can't get enough of this Flamingo!  Another fun card using the Be Yourself die set from the Amuse Studio June collection.  The border at the bottom was a scrap from another card that was laying on my desk.  The colors seemed right so I thought I would use it to ground the flamingo.
