Seaside Wishes

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

A very new purchase worked perfectly for a favorite challenge.

I found an aqua color background that was made from smooshing mixed media paper into

Gansai Tambi watercolors and water.  I used a new embossing folder to add "waves" 

into the background.

This set comes with stamps, dies and an embossing folder.

I stamped the sand dollars with Sahara Sand ink, die cut them then fitted them

inside the embossing folder.  The texture is awesome and makes them look almost real!

I stamped the starfish with VersaFine and heat embossed it with white powder.

Then I tucked it inside the edges of the embossing folder to get some texture on him.

I also die cut the sea grass and whatever that other thing is??? to tuck behind

the sand dollars.  I used a thumb dauber that had some leftover pool party ink on it

to add just a hint of color on the grass.

It doesn't show, but the sand dollars are covered in Wink of Stella for some sparkle.

A gold embossed sentiment that was fussy cut and some glass "bubbles" 

finished the card.

Challenges:

Can You Handle the Pressure - ATG with dry embossing

Color Hues #90 - White and Aqua (good beachy colors)

Double D - Nautical

NBUS #64 - Never Before Used Schtuff
