Be Still and Know

Hi Friends!!

I hope all of you are having a great week!  Tonight I am sharing another card designed with retired sets and supplies from my stash.

I wanted to participate with the Just Add Ink #491 Inspiration Challenge (I was inspired by the sand as well as the pastel colors) and am also linking to the Joy of Sets #014 Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge (top row across  Watercolor- Purple- Die Cuts) and the Addicted to Stamps and More #376 “Anything Goes” Challenge.

The image and sentiment were heat embossed with clear embossing powder and brush markers were used to watercolor the seaside and seashell images.

A few rectangles were die cut for the layers and all were mounted onto black cardstock.

The seashells were fussy-cut, distress oxide ink was sponged over all of the edges of the seashells and a clear glitter pen was used to add shimmer to both the shells and water. 

Once the layers were added to the card front, the looped silver cord was added prior to mounting the seashells with dimensional foam.
