I love our new Seaside Bay stamp set and dies! I used them to create this card. Aren’t the sandpipers on the beach so sweet?
The scene is created using the stamps, as well as Blending Brushes for the background. Using our Stampin' Masking Paper makes this card fairly easy! Our Fine Shimmer 12" x 12" Paper and the foil in this piece of By the Bay 6" x 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) give my card a bit of sparkle!
The shells were stamped on Shimmery White Cardstock, painted with Wink of Stella, die cut, and then adhered. I tied a 20" strand of Linen Thread around the card, and then tied it in a bow.
