Friends Are Like Seashells

 Hello bloggers!  I started by taping the Seashell stencil to a piece of white card.  I used Clear Texture Paste through the stencil with a plastic palette knife.  While the stencil was still in place, I used Coral Crush Pixie Sparkles all over the design.  I lightly spritzed it with water to activate all the powder, then carefully removed the stencil and set it aside to dry.  I cut a frame using the Double Stitched Circles.  I added it in the corner with mounting foam.  I cut two Starfish from the Under The Sea Creatures and a seaweed from the Aquatic Plants set and added the Friends Are Like Seashells sentiment above it.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  7 1/4"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Hi Sue. This is what I love about the world of papercrafting - you can go from Christmas one day to the beach the next! Love the coral colour of the pixie powders on the seashells making such a pretty card.

Hi Sue. While I have a little time free on my hands I obviously couldn't resist popping in to see this fresh pretty inspiration, the sun is bright, the wind is bitter so I'll imagine being back in Indian Rocks on the white pristine ⛱ beach with Lottie..... of course lol
Love to all this Saturday xx

Hi Sue, a really lovely card. The colour is pretty and I like the way you have used a circular frame around the sentiment to highlight it.

What I like about your cards Sue is the diversity of the designs. We go from Halloween, to Christmas, to summer holidays in one week. Some are with diecuts for the focal element whereas this is the stencil taking centre stage. So much inspiration for us. Thank you Sue.
