I'm playing along with the {Pin}spiriational Challenge # 11 - which is seashells.
When I saw my blog friend Lynn's Card for this challenge.....I knew I had to play along. I've had this twine netting for a looooong time.........can't even remember what it was used for but knew I'd be able to use it on a card....and finally........I did!!!
I stamped three Amuse seashells on watercolor paper and colored them in with Distress Inks. I added some brown dots with a marker. (I have two jars of shells in my room, so was able to get inspiration from them too!). I glued down the netting with glossy accents. When I laid everything down....it seemed kind of boring..........so I decided to make some splatters for the background. Splatters are my new favorite thing!!!! I added a Hero Arts sentiment to finish it off!
Here's the inspiration photo. You can play along until Monday night at midnight:
We're hosting a Father's Day breakfast here at the house for my parents, in-laws and aunt/uncle and cousins! It will be a busy day - so I'll make some blog-rounds later!
Thanks for your visit!
