Sand & Shells

 

Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and our fearless leader Nancy has chosen by the sea as the theme!

Of course, you can always play along with our anything goes birthday option too.

Our party guest this month is Jenny, and welcome to Jules, our newest team mate.

They, along with the rest of the team have some wonderful cards to inspire you. Look forward to seeing your makes in the gallery!

I think I've only used these starfish and seashell dies once,  and the background stamp just a couple of times.

I really need to make more use of what I have and spend less time searching for new goodies lol! 

Anyway, I'm not a beach person, but if I do go to the seaside you'll fine me wandering in the sand looking for seashells.

The background was stamped with antique linen oxide ink.

The shells were coloured with a light peach chameleon pen, vintage photo distress ink and then a paint wash of inka gold in rose quartz, champagne or silver,

Here's a closer look at the shine.

I'm linking up to these challenges:

As You Like It Challenge, favourite primary colour and why.

 My favourite primary colour is blue, it's a relaxing and peaceful colour and you just have to look at the sky to feel that way!

The Card Concept

I was inspired by the colours and the prominent starfish. My card is in the clean and layered category I think.
