Seashells

Let me tell you... I almost didn't go to Christmas At Sweet Stampin' blog to look into their challenge... I am so done with Christmas cards for the year 2012. I did go have a look see... and what a relief! They are having an Anything Goes Challenge! :) Yay!

I used the image Seashells from Scrapbook Stamp Society. I don't know about you... but I am ssoooo ready for warm weather. :-\ We're just getting started with winter! :(

I used... you're not gonna believe this... sand paper for the sand background! :) I colored the image with Copic Markers. I used textured card stock from my "collection"... ;) lol ... in reality... from my stash. I have to admit... I've done this before... I can't help it! When I see seashells by the seashore... I feel the urge to sell them! haha... OK... now my secret is out... I can be corny! ;) lol When I have a seashell image... I want to use blue card stock, sand paper and tear the blue to make waves. So I think I remember this is my fourth card to do like this. The first card is kinda like this but I used images of large seashells along one of the waves... the waves were bigger... so was the card. I made a tag kinda like this too but with small, tiny seashell images and without the blue paper for the waves... the last one... I think instead of the ribbon and charms, I used an image of a half naked woman and I embossed seashells on tan card stock instead of sand paper and various shades of blue vellum instead of card stock... see... I can be racy too! ;) lol Years from now... if I find another seashell image I cannot live without... I'll probably be doing the same. Like I wrote... I can't help myself! :-\ lol

Here is the card...

Ready for some warm weather now?
