Life is Good at the Beach

Hi Bloggers.

This one of my favourite cards from the Pick of the Day - probably because it has a Lustre Embossing Powder on it!

I used Milk Card for this one - the embossing powder takes on a different shade when using Milk Card rather than White Card. I laid the Swirl Border Mask across the top of my card and inked around it using Cloudy Blue Adirondack Dye Ink with Cut n Dry Foam. Then I randomly stamped some shells from the Justrite At the Beach Oval Medallion Labels Stamp Set using Cloudy Blue. I also stamped the border from the same stamp set across the top and bottom of the card. I made sure the ink was dry and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Peacock Pleasure Embossing Folder. I ran it though a second time to extend the design and then inked around the edges with Denim Adirondack Dye Ink using Cut n Dry Foam.

I stamped the main image from the stamp set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Arctic Lake Lustre Embossing Powder. I cut it out using Justrite Oval Nested Medallions Labels and inked through the die with Cloudy Blue (it's very subtle).

I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Arctic Lake Lustre. I cut it out using Spellbinders Ornate Squares and inked through the die with Cloudy Blue.

I stamped some shells, again from the same stamp set, using Perfect Medium and embossed with Arctic Lake Lustre. I cut them out using scissors and added them to the card as shown.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in White around the edges.

I'm moving house the next week and I think I may frame this one and pop it in the bathroom. What do you think?

I'll be back tomorrow with a card from the tomorrow's shows.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
