Hello there! How is your Monday going? Mine is off to a great start! Started my day with coffee with the hubs and that is one of my favorite things! He is sweet enough to make my coffee for me every morning and then we always share a really nice visit. It is one of those little things that makes my life feel so full and wonderful. I try to remind myself often that it is so important to appreciate those things!! Then it was off to my stamp room! I pulled out one of my stamp sets that hadn't seen any ink yet and just started playing. Here is what I came up with:
Are you a fan of the beach? I love it! I must have been feeling inspired by the ocean today when I started my card. My card base is Pool Party and my layers are Crumb Cake and Whisper White. I roughed up the edges of the Crumb Cake hoping to achieve the look and feel of a sandy beach. I used the stamp set So Many Shells for the images and the sentiment. This is a 2 Step stamp set which gives you that fun look of dimension with your stamps. I stamped my shells first and then sponged in some sand around them and then a beautiful cloudless blue sky! Next went my sentiment and then some silver accents dots.
I stamped two of the shells on my base piece and then stamped the third one and cut it out. I added it over the other two with a Dimensionsal. It is always fun to add dimension to your card by layering!
Hard to see it in the photo, but I covered all of the shells and the place where the sand meets the water/sky with Wink of Stella. It is a glitter pen that adds just a touch of shimmer to your projects! I would paint my walls with that stuff if I could find a big enough pen! LOL Love it!!
Here are the goodies I used to create my card today:
