You may have noticed that I really like ocean themes, and that my favourite colour is blue! I've also become very partial to backgrounds made with Blending Brushes!
I love our Seaside Bay stamp set and corresponding dies, as well as our Oceanfront stamp set! I used them to create this card--it's very similar to one that I made back in January, but it's a bit different layout, and updated with some new colours and new Designer Series Paper.
The scene is created using the stamps, as well as Blending Brushes. Using our Stampin' Masking Paper makes this card fairly easy! Our Soft Shimmer 12" x 12" Specialty Paper and Wink of Stella on the water and shells give my card a bit of sparkle!
I used Smoky Slate to stamp the shells on Basic White Cardstock, then painted them with Wink of Stella, die cut, and adhered them. I tied a 20" strand of Linen Thread around the card, and then tied it in a bow.
Thanks very much for stopping by--and for voting!!! If you like my card, please vote here--then remember to click on the top right corner of the thumbnail of my card (#9) until the heart turns red--that way you know that your vote is registered:
