Wishing You...

It's time for a new challenge at the Card Concept, and we have this 'beachy'

 scene to inspire you!

I was instantly drawn to the shells and sand on an aqua background.

I used real sand on top of a Nichole Heady Sand Swatch stamp set, so I'm

going with a Mixed Media Card. The aqua bg is a piece of 12 x 12" wood print

designer paper that I had, but it was tan colored.

To change the color to aqua I brushed on Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst: Tiffany Lou Blue.

It has a lustrous gleam in real life.

A few of PTI's raindrops look a bit like water bubbles to me, so I added them.

All PTI product today, with the exception of the dp and sand.

My list will take you to the PTI store, where they still have all stamps and dies

at a discount.

Challenge #111-Scattered Seashells

May 2016 Blog Hop Challenge

 Time for PTI's May Blog Hop, and Nichole has given us this inspiration

Nichole gave us free reign to use any of the colors of the photo,

any stamps we choose, and experiment with the fonts for our 

sentiment. 'Out of our comfort zone', were her last words!

One layer cards are hardest for me, definitely struggle 

to not add just one more: 

pop up somewhere, frame it, bling or button!

I played with the Simple Seashells, watercoloring their 3 steps, 

masking as I went.

Sand Swatch, and Colorful Words.
