Susan Raihala's one layer challenge this week (to stamp an image, use a border stamp and add bling in some form) got the ol' creative juices flowing. The shell border was stamped with Encore gold metallic ink and gold embossed. The palm tree was stamped with Brilliance Pearlescent inks in Rich Cocoa and Thyme. I added Stickles Rock Candy to the edge to imitate the foamy look of the air bubbles created as waves crash ashore. I made some other cards with a shell/beach theme but they don't meet the challenge requirements, so I'll save those for another day ; )
As always, your visit is most appreciated and inspires me to post, so thank you.
Hugs,
Colleen
This is lovely - I think the palm tree is beautiful. And I really like how you've made the beach!
ReplyDeleteHi Colleen, this is so perfect for the challenge. I love the border and the "waves".
ReplyDeleteColleen, this is so summery and warm looking! I love it!
ReplyDeleteColleen, this is so fun! I love the movement of the curves...perfect for the scene!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card. Would like to be at a warm beach right now. The shell border stamp is great.
ReplyDeleteLove that palm tree--it's just right for a bold statement. Sure beats snow men!
