By the Sea, By the Sea, By the Beautiful Sea

I discovered a new challenge that looks like fun- Stampin' B's Design Team. I like their Mission Statement: "We stamp for the utter enjoyment of stamping. Rules be damned! We will enjoy each other's creations by commenting on them, praising them, and NEVER having a negative impact on another person's stamping in any way!" Their challenge this week is by Joanne- to make a Seashore Card.
I used an old stamp from Stampendous " Beach Day" and stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa on kraft paper and colored with pencils and OMS. I used the Spellbinders Impressabilities Sea Scape to emboss a mat of kraft cs and inked with the Rich Cocoa. Cut a "frame" in the mat with Nesties Rectangle Die for the stamped image and assembled all on base card. Tucked a sentiment in the shells "Life is Good".

Now I wish that I were by the sea enjoying the sound of the waves and the warmth of the sand. Want to join me?

Tone on Tone with Pearls

I made this card using Spellbinders Impressabilities Flowers with the letterpress effect technique as shown on STV by Gina K. Click here to see her video. Made the tone on tone background and matted it on deeper blue and on white base card. Stamped image and cut with oval nestie and matted on scallop oval. Added ribbon and pearls.
