Good morning fellow die cut crafters!
Vicki here to share some summertime inspiration with you. Summer began a few days ago and that means beach time! I love walking on the beach both in the early morning and late evening.
Collecting shells along the way is a favorite pastime and helped inspire my card...
"The Sea..."
This card was created in my favorite square format of 5 1/2" x 5 1/2". I found some very old Worldwin embossed cardstock in my stash that was perfect for the water background. The net was cut from gold matte paper. I think this is going to be on my list of favorite die cuts. It is so awesome! The seashell border is cut from the same coral cardstock that I used as matting for the background and behind the sentiment.
I added some color and sparkle to the seashells with distress inks and clear rock candy glitter.
The following die cuts were used and are available in the DRUS Store...
