Hi, Everyone!
First, I want to say I'm so excited to be participating, again, in the Top Ten International Highlights Winners Blog Hop April, 2021, hosted by Kylie Bertucci! I earned this honor with my card, Tranquil Dies, placing in the top 10 of Kylie's April, 2021 International Highlights (actually, second place, thanks to your votes). Thank you to everyone who voted for my card!
Our theme is Thank You, and that's something we sometimes don't hear enough. I remember my mom staying on me when I graduated from high school about writing those Thank You notes for my graduation gifts. Back then, I didn't realize how much a simple thank you note meant.
Since I only live about 2 hours from the beautiful beaches of the Panhandle of Florida and Panama City Beach, I thought it only appropriate to use the Friends are like Seashells Bundle from the January-June Mini Catalog.
I used vellum for my background piece. Ink from Bermuda Bay and Granny Apple Green reinkers were spread around on one side of the vellum with alcohol in a water painter, embossed with the Seashells embossing folder, and, for a special touch, sprayed with Frost White Shimmer paint mixed with alcohol.
The seashells were stamped, cut with the coordinating die, and embossed with the Seashells embossing folder. I then cut them apart and adhered them to the bottom right corner. The extra shell I had left, I adhered to the inside of the card.
