Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Vicki has chosen a beach theme this time around.
Or add to your card stash with our anything goes birthday theme, our party guests and my team mates have some wonderful inspiration on the blog for you!
We live a couple of hours drive away from the nearest beach, and when we do venture there I avoid the waves and wander in the sand looking for seashells!
I've had this embossing folder for ages and thought I'd add some Lindy's magicals powder and water to some embossed card for a shimmery shell like effect!
To add more definition, I inked up the debossed side of the folder with some grey ink and embossed the card again. To highlight the shells a bit more I swiped a little white pigment ink over the raised surfaces.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Mix It Up Challenge, playing along with the anything goes option.
I've used a diecut for the sentiment and a stitched rectangle die for the shell layer.
Spellbinders shell beauty ef; Lindy's magicals in teals and blues; versafine clair morning mist ink; Creative Expressions stacked happy birthday die; Crafts 4 U stitched rectangle die.
Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x
