Pretty Shells

Hi there! Diane with you today with a card to inspire you

to do a little shell collecting..lol!

I can remember vacations as a child going to the lakes and always looking for shells...but we never had any like these!

I started my card by first dusting my card stock with the Anti-static Bag, then stamping a splatters stamp with Versamark, and applying Frantage Embossing Powder-Aged Gold  and heat setting it. I like the way it gives the appearance of sand.

A few shells were cut from Impression Obsession Shell Set. After each shell was cut, I lightly inked the edges. Want smaller shells? Then you would like Impression Obsession Mini Shell Set.

I added a few LeCreme Pearls among the shells.

I finished with a sentiment stamped from the JustRite  Floral Basket stamp set, then added a few strands of twine!

Thank you for visiting with me today.

Birthday Wishes

Hi, it's Jenny posting today with a card for the new Fancy Pearls challenge.  Add a pearl to your project and join this challenge for a chance to win a great prize!

I found this frame that had been cut out of the Love Letters paper pad using Impression Obsession 6-in-1 Frame die and began creating from there.  Using a soft pink paper from the Love Letters 6x6 pad I cut the Memory Box Petite Cakes.  My pearls seemed a little large to decorate the cakes with so I used Liquid Pearls from my stash instead.  

The Memory Box Scalloped Cake Stands were heat embossed using Shabby White embossing powder from the Frantage Embossing Powder set.  I love the shiny coverage I can achieve with this embossing powder.  The cake stands look like glass.

After the cakes and frame were assembled and adhered to the background paper using Joy Foam Adhesive Pads I decided the card needed another color.  I found a pretty green coordinating paper in the Love Letters paper pad and cut the Impression Obsession Tied Line and Impression Obsession Greeting Set to get the Birthday Wishes phrase.

Then came the fun part.  I glued pearls from my stash to the sides of the frames, and a Rock Candy adhesive gem to the center of the bow on the Tied Line die.   I sprayed the Chalk White Seam Binding with Pearl Glimmer Mist and scrunched it a little before tying a bow.  I then tied the bow to the frame using some silver twine from my stash.  The bow really shines.  Thanks for looking and I can't wait to see your pearl creations this week!
