Sea The Days

Hello crafters!  I just love the soft look of this card!  I started by cutting the Under The Waves Frame out of milk card.  I used Bundled Sage Distress ink lightly over the seaweed and Spun Sugar Distress ink lighty over the seashells.  I cut the frame again and cut out the starfish, and seashells.  I lightky inked them with Antique Linen Distress ink.  I used Enchanted Gold Gilding Polish lightly over the top of the entire frame and seashells.  I layered the seashells up and then cut a milk card backing piece for the frame.  I glued the frame to the backing then added the Seas The Day sentiment out of tan card.  I embossed a piece of milk card with the Stripes embossing folder, then added the frame with mounting foam.  The card was completed with milk mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 5 1/2"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue, all we need to complete this inspiration is some gentle soothing relaxing sounds of the sea and gulls way in the background.
Sending love to all xxx

Another great post using these fab die sets, but my favourite thing of all is the embossing folder. This particularly one has to be in my top three of all time favourites.
