Seashells- TCC#218

 Hi there! 

Today I’m sharing a Shabby Chic and Vintage card inspired from The Card Concept’s Mood Board.  TCC#218

The first things that I zeroed in on were the wood grain boards on the shelf, the dominant moody blue color, and the speckled finish on the pottery.

I started with grabbing a sheet of a wood grain scrapbook paper, and lined up the design as close as possible to a wood grain embossing folder. (Altenew-Deck Plank 3D)

Next, I had two small papers from a Unity kit (I believe) that were gifted to me.  I tore a rough edge and wrapped the over hang to the back to glue in place.

I chose a few elements from Stampin Up’s Friends are like seashells set.  I stamped onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper and blended colors with an aqua pen. (Stampin up-Tip Top Taupe, Night of Navy) (Amuse-Eucalyptus pigment ink ❤️)

I roughly cut around some of the stamping and partially die cut the large shell.  I took the die cut, and placed it inside the coordinating embossing folder.  

A small piece of twine was woven through the plants for a little extra texture.  

A simple, “For You” was stamped in (SU-Night of Navy)  (SU- Friends are like Seashells ) sentiment was die cut from Stampin Up-Unbounded Love coordinating die.

I really liked the small sentiment and how the die cut fit nicely into the open space of the seashell.  I thought this more general sentiment could be used for a variety of occasions as well.

Thanks for stopping by!
