Seashells and Friends

Hello friends!  It's been a bit since I last posted here...I was enjoying my last week of summer break!  My school year started today, which I was not ready for, but it did feel good to be back in my regular routine.  

I usually try to stamp a bit each morning before heading in to work and this weeks Global Design Project Color Challenge was just what I needed to get back in my groove!

 

These soft colors had me dreaming of morning walks at the beach, collecting seashells.  I inked up Friends Are Like Seashells and added a Sailing Home lighthouse to complete the beach scene.

A soft Balmy Blue background was brushed on Basic White with the Blending Brushes, as well as a few Balmy Blue bubbles and some Pear Pizzazz seaweed.  The lighthouse and shells were layered with a few Artistry Blooms Sequins tucked in for just the right amount of bling.  The sentiment was simple stamped...no heat embossing, fussy cutting or die cutting...who am I?!?! 

I layered this pretty beach scene on top of the light wood-grain In Good Taste DSP, then added it to a Basic White card base.  I love the clean, fresh air feel!

It was good to be back to work and see all of my co-workers, but I am exhausted!  Trading my summer yard work for mental work is a big change that my brain needs to adjust to again.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Stamping!

Love You to the Beach & Back ~ #TGIFC325

It's FRIDAY and that means it's time for an all new TGIF Challenges.  This week we are feeling ALL of the vacation vibes!

Do you have a favorite vacation spot?  Mine is, hands down, the Oregon Coast.  Pacific City to be exact.  I have spent my entire life vacationing on the Washington and Oregon coast...the beach is my happy place!

With that being said, of course I had to create a beach themed vacation card.  I stamped and die cut some shells in some different colors, then layered them on a piece of Pool Party.  I stamped a few of the same seashells in Pool Party before embossing it with the awesome Painted Texture 3D embossing folder.  It kind of looks like you are looking at the seashells under water.

I layered the underwater shell scene on a piece of woodgrain In Good Taste DSP and Basic White, then attached it all to a Pool Party card base.  A couple Opal Rounds were added, which instantly reminded me of little baby jelly fish!
This sentiment may be one of my most favorite ever!  I have ideas for an anniversary card for my hubby brewing!

I hope you have a fantastic Friday!

Happy Stamping!
