Seashells

This is a card for an IO Nautical challenge.  I made a stencil by cutting out the shells on heavy CS.  I sponged over the stencil onto kraft CS with distress inks. I used versa mark to make splotches and then embossed with UTE. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a nestabilities die and sponged it with Memento desert sand.  I added a strip of seashell paper and a seashell cut from some dp.

  4. Great summer card! I will have to look at IO's shell dies because you are the second person I have seen to use them in the challenge. I love the effect of the embossing too! Thanks for sharing.
