It's Wednesday! ~ Inspiration Design Team Project Day with Sheena's Sea Shells

It's Wednesday!

and..

That means that it Crafter's Companion Inspiration Design Team Project Day...

here at my blog!

Christmas in July was lots of fun...

with 4 great, colorful Christmass-y projects.

I hope that you were inspired to get started with creating your holiday and Christmas cards!

Now, though...

it's time to shovel away the snow...

and it's time to bring a little bit of Summer to you

with a Sea Shell card.

I'll provide a complete supply list at the end of the blog post, as I always do...

but will give you some basic info now, as well.

I created this weeks card with Sheena's A Little Bit Scenic - Sea Shells stamp set...

some Shimmer card stock for matting...layering and for a card base...

Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth  cardstock...

...some Glitter marker for a bit of sparkle...

and colored the Sea Shells with Spectrum Noir (Alcohol) markers.

I used a deckled edge oval die to create a window/frame...

and cut the sea shells out with the Scan N Cut2.

I used vellum for stamping the sentiment

The pretty Coastal Pearl Shimmering card stock 

was positioned with foam mounting tape attached to it's outer edges

 to create a dimensional window-frame.

You can see the beautiful shimmer on the sea shells in this photo...

*Thank you Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay Sparkle Marker

When creating the grouping of sea shells...I use  foam dimensionals to place a few of them.

I didn't want to hide any of the pretty sea shells...

or make the window opening smaller to accommodate placement of a sentiment...

so I opted to place the sheer vellum sentiment banner across the upper corner 

Once again...

a Sheena Douglass brings us a stamp set that inspires creativity

and allows card makers...like you and I...

to explore our card making capabilities in new and wonderful ways!

Thanks for visiting ...

I'll look forward to sharing my Crafter's Companion Inspiration Design Team Project

with you next week...

as well as all of my card making projects between now and then!

have a great...and fantastically creative day!
