Back to the Beach

 Revisiting my favorite suite in the January - June 2021 Mini Catalog - the Sand & Sea Suite.  Today I'm only focusing on the gorgeous stamped shells, the Pearlescent Paper and the Seashells Embossing Folder:


I created a beach scene by combining some old and some new stamps.  


I started by color washing the Watercolor Paper with the new Water Painters and some Seaside Spray ink.  Then I took the "water" stamp in High Tide, repeatedly stamping the ocean with more Seaside Spray ink.


I stamped "sand" on the Sahara Sand cardstock and tore it to look like sand dunes.  Then I stamped the shell images on the Pearlescent Paper, cut them out and embossed them before hiding them in the sand.


All it needed was some birds; again High Tide and also Sailing Home had the perfect stamps!  

It's snowing here in Oregon today; this card is making me look forward to the summer!
