Let's get started !!
Here's my card for
DAY 4
After 3 days of thinking about the beach, I was getting
brain dead...yes, I do have a brain. HA! So with this one
I wanted to use the shell stamps but wasn't sure how
color them...sooooo, I opted to paper piece the shells.
I like how they turned out, no doubt way better than
if I tried coloring them. lol. I took some Kraft paper
and tore and inked the edges for my sandy dunes. Prior
to placing them on my card I picked out my horizon for
my water and inked that in, using a mask. I placed my
shells, raising up 2 or 3 of them for dimension. Once
the sentiment was stamped I layered the card to
the main card and finished!!
