Seashells With Von Marie!

Hello everyone, Von Marie here with you today. I’m so happy to be on the blog today as we have a New Challenge the theme this week is Sea Shells. And of course there is color inspiration and a card sketch.  How are you inspired? Join us and make a card.

Let’s Get Started:

I was inspired by the Seashells theme colors, and card sketch. I used Hero Arts Seashells fancy Dies that I die-cut from white cardstock. I used Pinkfresh Studio ink in Warm Buff and Doe. I also used Simon Says Stamp Latte ink to ink some color onto my shells. So much fun inking these shells.

I cut some brown woodgrain pattern paper from Lawn Fawn. I cut 4 rectangles like the card sketch I know it’s hard to see in photo. I also inked the edges as I could see white from the paper and I wanted it all brown. I glued the papers to a cream colored A2 card base at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. Next, I stamped a sentiment in Simon Says Stamp Artichoke ink from Hero Arts from In A Pinch stamp set. I then fussy cut out the sentiment. All was glued with liquid glue. I had fun making this card.

Now it’s your turn!

Make a card using theme, colors, card sketch, whatever inspired you from the inspiration photo.

New Challenge starts every Thursday!
