Card: Seaside Inspiration

Hello and Welcome! 

Welcome to today's post! I'm so glad you've joined me for today's slimline project.  The layout for today's card was inspired by the Stampin' Pretty Sketchbook #47...you can check out that inspiration here.  I love when a project comes together.

And here is today's project...

It has been quite some time since I have created a slim line card, but this sketch just stood out to me and I thought it would be fun to use it to feature those lovely seashells.  

How do you make it? 

The balmy blue card base is cut to a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" slim line card.  The card base is layered with Sahara Sand and a beach scene sheet of "By the Bay" DSP.  Before layering the DSP, add some texture to the Sahara Sand by stamping the wood grain stamp ("On the Horizon" stamp set) in Versamark Ink.  Add some birds to the beach scene in Tuxedo Black ("On the Horizon" stamp set).  Using the smallest square die-cut ("Stitched Shapes"), cut three seashells from the "By the Bay" DSP and adhere to the top using mini-dimensionals.  Stamp your favorite sentiment and use the "Happy Labels" punch to create the scalloped edges.  Finish it off with a linen twine bow.  Don't forget the inside! Check out some close-ups below.
